Encourage them to walk as much as possible - hopefully daily.
Encourage them to shorten their feeding window. Perhaps as small as 4-6 hours but even 8 hours would be a big step up from a (typical) 12 hour feeding window.
If you wanted to be more ambitious, any kind of resistance training would be fantastic but not at the expense of the walking.

I notice you employing a familiar heuristic: "things doctors don't want to talk about" but I encourage you to embrace an even deeper heuristic:
If there were some natural substance, or plant extract, or pressing from (food) or (some combination of purple berries) that made people live longer, we would all know about. It would be carved into stone tablets and embedded in every religious tradition. It would not be a secret.
People have been watching and cataloging their food inputs for millennia - the pressed extracts of winegrape seeds would not have eluded their notice ...
- awillen 4y agoThe problem with what you're suggesting is that proving something improves longevity is really, really hard. If you want to find out if something's going to help people live longer, you have to study it for a very long time. And of course given the length of the study and the multitude of other factors that may affect longevity, you'd need to have a huge population of participants in the study. If there were something that let you live to 200, sure. But trying to answer a question like whether the Mediterranean diet extends life on average by 10% is very, very hard. Even if we had great records of what everyone ate, you'd still have to deal with the fact that people consuming that diet tend to live in the same geographical area and share a lot of other behaviors that could very well affect longevity.

Perhaps a healthy gut biome is the secret to avoiding obesity by increasing gut microbiome diversity and reducing inflammation: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2021/07/fermented-food-diet-increases-microbiome-diversity-lowers-inflammation https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2021/07/fermented-foo...
