If everyone lived "with our future in mind," do you think we would live differently? (Different habits, behaviors, etc)
To answer the above question, yes, I believe most people would live differently. I think more people would exercise, have healthy diets, and not smoke cigarettes as much.
People tend to think "that won't happen to me." They think this way for different reasons. Some may think just because a family member smoked for 50 years and did not get lung cancer, they can do the same. It is the samething for some one to believe they can eat foods that are bad for them and not exercise and always have a "normal" check-up at the doctor because that is what happens to a family member. What they don't understand, is that they can still get lung cancer either by second hand smoke or from them smoking. They can smoke for 5 years and wind up with lung cancer. The person who thinks he can eat whatever foods he want and not exercise is shocked when he finds out he has high cholestrol, clogged arteries, or high blood pressure. Some people do not understand that their bodies are different and it's not always about the genes. There are some people that do everything right, but still wind up with an illness or disease.
I do believe if everyone lived "with our future in mind," that there would be more healthy people. People would take the time to go to the doctor for check-ups and if the doctor said to change their diet, they would listen and do what the doctor said. There would be less people smoking and more people exercising. Maybe we should start living our lives by the above quote.

I agree that everyone would live a different life if we lived with the future in mind! I know that I definitely would live my life differently If I had my future in mind. Even though I know that I should exercise regularly, I don't. If I had my future in mind then I would see that I could develop a disease from being inactive. I am actually developing a plan to change my exercise and eating habits at this moment so I am currently thinking about my future. We should all think of our future when we do anything that we know could harm us because anything can happen to you!
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. There would definitely be more healthy people. People do not realize how good health can cause longer longivity.If everyone could know their future I think that they would step up to the plate an dtake the actions needed for living a longer, healthier life.
