Genetics can't beat physics. Soak your mouth in coke all day, and your teeth will rot. The fact that your body can handle it better than most is a blessing for you, but doesn't discount hygiene for most people.
I have known people that say the exact same argument for lack of sleep, drinking tons of alcohol, smoking daily, etc...
I'd suspect that people with good genetics and that take care of their bodies wisely will live ripe old ages in good condition. But if are unwise, will exist in the same realm of misery with the masses.
- tootie 9y agoAll things being equal, you're always better off taking care of yourself. But you're better off investing your energy in proven strategies and not whatever nonsense you see on the internet.
- RobertRoberts 9y ago>But you're better off investing your energy in proven strategies and not whatever nonsense you see on the internet I generally agree, but there was a time when books and libraries were the internet of the time. And the saying was similar "just because you read it in a book doesn't mean it's true." Consider how recently science and doctors have been wrong about certain diseases and fixed/changed their healing techniques. I'd rather use common sense than suffer at the hands of those that are working on the wrong side of the knowledge curve. Many doctors today are of a similar opinion, sometimes the majority is wrong, and it takes a long time for them to come around, but that doesn't mean everyone has to wait.
