Why don’t people make healthier choices?

[Anonymous]

I got some blood work results back and there’s not any red flags, but there are some yellow flags which basically tell me I need to start making lifestyle changes if I want to avoid real problems later. That was enough to scare me into action. I don’t understand why other people don’t have the same reaction.

Mainly because their looks don't depend on it. If unhealthy foods made everyone ugly then many would easily make the switch. I mean when we walk in a social situation, nobody cares what our diet is. Everyone cares about appearance & other shallow things so they take the cake.

If I don't get more active one day I could have heart problems and negatively impact my lifespan.. so why wouldn't I get off my a** and act now when moderate lifestyle changes can fix that?

I agree. I also want to add that it doesn't take much to improve heart health & the cardio vascular system. The best way to do that is via higher intensity by a huge margin. Dr. Rhonda Patrick spoke about this recently if you want to look into it more.

Cookies taste better than carrots. When you get older you realize how much better you feel if you only eat healthy

I am not going to radically change my diet, which by the way is not really so bad anyway, but I am going to stop being sedentary and get in to shape, be able to run a few miles without feeling like I am going to keel over.

It's all genes. Some people do all the right things and get sick. Some people do all the wrong things and live to 100. Once they have genetics figured out, they'll be able to fix everyone (as long as they're not already sick, and even then, some will be reversed).

Laziness, both mentally and physically.
