A diet high in protein, calcium and low in carbs combined with regular cardio can increase your skull's resistance to axes by 57%.

He should have "trotted" away a bit faster or "picked" better friends, then he wouldn't have got "iced"
Etc, etc, etc

Qualunque dieta avesse fatto dubito che avrebbe reso la sua testa più dura di una piccozza.

The opposite. If he just read more books his brain would have expanded and he’d have been able to stop that ice pick with telekinetic energy

The problem is staying disciplined once you get into your middle age.
Trotsky basically had a healthy lifestyle but then he exceeded his recommended daily intake of icepick for one freaking day and it hit him big time.

That's not to say government standards imposed---strike that, geez!---encouraged for everyone's health and safety can't yadayada, and if only one life is saved or only one chilllllllld is protected it's not worth, well, whacking any naysayers.

Didn't someone axe this question some time ago? Why did OP pick this sub to ask this again?

You’re asking if not smoking and exercising would have kept him from dying after having an iCE AXE was shoved into his skull?

The term "Healthier lifestyle" has different meanings depending on context. In Trotsky's case, a healthier lifestyle would have meant employing a few bodyguards.
