clean living

Healthy moral habits

Clean living is a lifestyle that avoids excess and vice—no heavy drinking, no drugs, no late nights, plenty of exercise and wholesome food.

The phrase often carries a slightly old-fashioned or moralistic tone: He attributed his long life to clean living.

Someone who practices clean living might be called clean-living as a compound adjective: a clean-living young man.
