It is as easy as falling off a log, breaking one’s hip, or getting stung by angry bees while trying to rob their hive for honey. Simply cut back on all the useless things, which is almost everything, mindless Hollywood entertainment, TV, the fancy mobile phone (I use a pay phone for the two times a year I need to ring anybody), and adopt a basic paleo diet of good quality meats and vegetables, like the Nordic/Viking diet which keeps the Icelanders alive longer than anyone on the planet:
