In this discussion we look at various ways to delay, or even avoid the onset of disease. With the advent of ultra processed foods, pharmaceutical dependency, increasing obesity levels and work related decreased physical activity, we now more than ever are predisposed to accelerated mortality. Lifestyle addictions to alcohol, smoking, drug abuse or poor quality nutrition are all major contributors towards disease related complications. During our formative years (13 to 18) we are subjected to a daily dichotomy of decision making, from our educational environment, to our chosen demographic. Our genetics and somatotype (body shape) are only responsible up to a certain age, let's say 18 years, in our physiological and neurological development. Thereafter our lifestyle choices take over and if our decision making is habitually poor, we are increasing the likelihood of disease. Musculoskeletal injuries, abdominal obesity, weakened immune systems and cardiovascular disease are often diagnosed at a later stage in life, of which are reversible with a combination of education, self discipline and corrective measures. With this in mind, it's advisable to implement a healthy lifestyle and prioritize making informed decisions going forward. Please subscribe to the channel, to be alerted when new episodes go live.
