RE: They Say Age Is Just A Number
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I would say that these habits you write about in your post could be applied to people in any age, really. Its true that the older you get, the more important it is to keep your mind and body healthy.
Do not assume that being healthy is your passport to a long life. Your longevity is not guaranteed by your age or health.
I think about this often. Doesn't matter how well you take care of yourself, there is always a possibility that you might fall sick or an unfortunate event in your life happens. For me, this a big driver for me on cutting out things that make you suffer in life. Why wait when you don't know when your life will end.
Good post!

What you said is absolutely true. This week I have lost two friends who have been battling with cancer.
One passed away a few days ago after her cancer had spread to her lungs. Before this, she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and has recovered after all the treatments. But a few months later, they confirmed it had spread to the lungs. She is only 33 years old.
While my former colleague just passed away this morning due to stage 4 lung cancer, He had reached the age of 60. I had the chance to work with him before COVID-19, and he has not yet been diagnosed with cancer.
It looks like they are very different in age, but everything that happens to both of them is very unexpected.
Because of that, I'm writing this out today on my blog. I will do what I feel is very important for me. Physically and mentally. At the same time, I also need to be prepared and accept that death will come at any time, regardless of our age or health level.
