it's all about moderation and finding a good balance, on the spectrum of a miserable health nut who still gets hit by a car or has a heart attack due to hereditary/genetics at a young age on one end and Keith Richards who smoked for 55 years and has done more heroin than anyone of us could possibly imagine on the other end...
just find a spot in the middle somewhere

I personally think there isn’t such a thing as a correct or incorrect way to go through life so long as you are not doing wrong to others. If someone wants to have a “burn bright and burn out fast” kind of life either due to unhealthy food or substance use that’s their prerogative
But if we are talking about living long lives then quality of life also comes into the equation. The difference between an 85yr old that has been taking care of themselves and one that doesn’t can be pretty stark. One is still able to move around and do things and the other tends to look shriveled up like the crypt keeper coiled into a fetal position on their couch
Treat yourself like shit, and you are going to have a shit quality back end. So if that’s the case, a long life isn’t necessary going to be a such a great thing. If the last half is “oh my god everything hurts and I can’t catch my breath” all day, maybe it is better to just have died at 55
