    Vaping. Constantly see young kids using them, heartbreaking.

    lack of exercise, present company included. Even just getting out and walking around the neighborhood for a while, gotta do something.

    Sugar. Everyone is so obsessed with food being fat-free, but it’s sugar they should be wary of

    Processed “food”. Most of the rest of the world has already banned high fructose corn syrup, when will the US catch up?

    Sleep deprivation.

    Lack of sleep due to their phones, tablets, TVs. You know why people are so miserable now more than ever? Because most people are sleep deprived

    Unspoken grief. The kind that lingers quietly in the body, stored in joints, skin, appetite, sleep. People carry so much they never name, and it eats them in silence. The body remembers what the mouth refuses to.

    Keeping abusive family around. Yes, they may not even realize the damage their toxic behavior does to others, and it’s incredibly painful to distance yourself or cut them off, but living life taking abuse is going to cut so much from your life. Get away and find yourself, and you’ll also find better health.

    Honestly, I feel like I’m living to die. Wake up, work, pay bills, I can only afford shitty food, walking outside in shitty polluted air, can’t buy a home unless I’m in a relationship (in some cases 2 incomes aren’t enough), student loans defaulting, regular loans defaulting. And sadly, I can’t possibly be the only one who feels this way. IN THIS ECONOMY… lol

    Sleep apnea.

    I quickly scrolled but didn’t see this one: sleep apnea. Many have it and don’t know it, but the health implications are immense.

    Insulin resistance.

    I spent years having cognitive issues (leading to one entirely avoidable accident), low energy, terrible sleep quality and being super susceptible to any kind of infection, only to discover that low dose semaglutide (which addresses insulin resistance) instantly fixed all of those issues.

    Diabetes is not a good way to go, and doctors under prescribe semaglutide given it’s high cost. All I got were suggestions to live a less stressful life, exercise more and eat healthier, which I tried and didn’t find at all productive.

    If you are in the UK it could be lead. There are around 10,000 lead mines in England alone. Most abandoned and never made safe. Also used in pipes and paint until the 90s.

    A number of people (no testing so no way of knowing how many) make themselves sick decorating their house, by dry sanding lead paint.

    Liver disease. It’s likely that the prevalence of fatty liver disease is up to 1 in 3 people. Fatty liver is harmless but it can progress to cirrhosis and liver failure over a long period of time. The vast majority of people will have zero symptoms until they’re on the brink of total liver failure.

    Being mostly sedentary. Even if you aren’t overweight, you’re screwing yourself out of a longer, higher quality life if you aren’t moving and exercising. Being strong isn’t optional if you want to feel great.

    Apparently osteoporosis is known as the silent killer because you don’t realise you have it. I’m 43 and have been recently diagnosed with it.

    Ive read most comments and bad news guys.. our livestyles are litterally killing us and theres almost nothing we can do except maybe exercise and go live alone isolated in a forest eating berries and mushrooms while getting photographed every day because people think youre bigfoot.

    So for now make the most of your life, have fun and take care of the people you love, thats about all we can do.

    Poverty.

    Bad public policy. Which in turn leads to poverty.
