Physical idleness, overeating, smoking, drinking. You can dodge a lot of the risks just by never getting fat, staying active and being moderate/sparing with food, drink, and drugs.
Gluttony and sloth. I would also say wrath, being mad all the time is bad not just for those around you but also hard on your own body.
I’m old enough that I get the colonoscopy done as routine care. The doctor I went to said that in her opinion, the starting age for those needs to be rolled back to about 30 and many people should have 5 year interval not 10. Because a lot of what ends up being cancer can just be removed easily and never turn into anything if caught early.
I don’t eat much junk and try to get enough fiber, so far so good. But I do think plastics in the environment are hard to avoid and problematic, and agree with that doctor. I go every 5 not 10.
Drinking I do, one drink couple times a week. Gave up most of my diet coke drinking though, iced green tea unsweetened is also no calorie some caffeine and oh so refreshing, has been a good replacement.
Everyone dies. I just want to feel good and healthy as long as possible. Good habits aren’t really about living LONGER so much, they are about feeling good while alive.
