News flash: we're all going to die, and time flies. At the typical retirement age of 65, most people have 10 or 15 years left.
I'd advise a sensible diet and enjoying life while you are young. Don't spend time ruminating about what might kill you when you're near the end of your life regardless.
- AQuantized 8y agoLife expectancy is around 20 years at 65 in most developed countries.
- ams6110 8y agoFine. Point being, 20 years sounds like a long time when you're 25. When you're 55 or 60, and reflect on how fast that time went by, 15 or 20 years doesn't sound like very long. Certainly not enough time to make up for a lifetime of denying yourself life's pleasures thinking you're going to make up for it when you're old. Edit to add: none of us are guaranteed anything. You could get cancer and be dead at 40. Or younger. Avoiding reckless risks is one thing. Thinking you really have much control over diseases you might get in 40 years from now is another.
