There are three things that one does to get to a higher orbit, as far as one's total development in his life time, is concerned.
One, Praying or meditating.
When you pray your spiritual bank balance in the heaven is in the millions and grows at an exponential rate!
This is something that if, done on a daily basis, puts you in an orbit that is pure paradise!!
The brain is the finest chemical laboratory ever created on the planet. It produces the finest chemicals in your body when you pray or meditate. All the organs in the body are benefited by these chemicals that are circulating in your body.
When you have stress, anger, worry, figuring-out-things, loneliness, .... all negative type of situations and thoughts, the finest chemical laboratory produces the finest bad chemicals in your body.
This situation on a daily and long term basis puts you in an exponentially fastest aging process - a beeline to the shortest life span on earth!!
Second, wise choice of foods on a daily and longterm basis- no diets but a dynamic lifestyle change that is always forever fine tuned as we progress our journey on this planet.
And lastly, excercise.
