For Yoga, modern science says do 54 sets = 108 reps of Surya Namaskar. Of course you need to gradually build your stamina to increase reps.

My great-grandfather did 2 hours of yoga in morning, and lived to nearly 100 years. Also ate nuts, fruits, teas, water. This is according to my dad. Not modern science, just things about family members that get passed down from generation to generation :-)
