. . SPORTS MEDICINE : HEALTH : LIFESTYLE: We All Have to Die of Something, so Why Bother Being Healthy? . . We All Have to Die of Something, so Why Bother Being Healthy? Posted October 27, 2017 by Alessandro Demaio, MBBS MPH PhD in NCDs PLOS Blogs Global Health http://blogs.plos.org/globalhealth/2017/10/ we-all-have-to-die-of-something-so-why-bother-being-healthy/ . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/ychwkexg . . Why bother trying to be healthy? We all have to die of something, right? . In part this is true. Regardless of our discomfort with death, we all have to die sometime, and we all have to die from something. However, this is where the truth ends. . Today in Australia, the leading causes of death are mostly preventable or at least can be significantly delayed. Factors like poor diet and tobacco drive ailments including heart disease, stroke, diabetes (type 2), lung disease and cancers. And when you look more deeply at what ill-health brings, its not just death that makes the strongest case for getting out of bed. . . Youll die later Youll be healthier, longer Youll feel better in the meantime Youll save more and spend less Your kids will be healthier, and maybe even their kids The bigger picture . Living a healthier lifestyle is about making small, possible, simple and sustainable changes like taking the stairs instead of the lift not totally rethinking the way you live. . But while there are many compelling reasons to be healthy, personal discipline alone will never solve our chronic disease and obesity epidemics. If neighbourhoods lack safe spaces for kids to run, or fresh food is inaccessible and unaffordable, good intentions will not get you very far. Government policies need to make health easier, even preferred. . In the meantime, look to friends for motivation; your family to share and support a healthy diet; apps that map and commend the exercise you do; and your GP and important services like Quitline for assistance with alcohol reduction and smoking cessation. . .
