"Healthiest" is very subjective. For example, people still believe low-fat diets are healthier and that saturated fats are evil and PUFAs are not (although people like Ray Peat call them "toxic at any dosage"). Excessive exercise is another proof that toxicity is all about the dose - because a sedentary lifestyle is possibly unhealthy, people wrongly conclude that working the hell out is any better.
Also, the environment does a huge toll - you can have the healthiest lifestyle in Los Angeles, but you still inhale one of the most polluted air. Also, you drive a new car, which intoxicates you, and reverses your lifestyle efforts manyfold!
Many consider eating kale to be healthy... and they drink kale juice, eat raw kale, not realizing how goitrogenic kale actually is.
So, when I hear "I live a healthy lifestyle", I really interpret it usually as "I suffer from orthorexia".
