 great question I may have multiple answers but currently Id say biggest self inflicted issue is metabolic disease/inactivity.

Ive seen 95 year olds dance after having a hip fracture surgery, and a 55 year old never walk again after the same procedure.

stay moving, its most important

 Metabolic disease, you mean the usual sugar related (diabetes) stuff or there are any other things? Salt? Sneaky long term food allergies?

 Metabolic disease refers to a group of disorders that occur when any part of the body's metabolism is disrupted, often leading to abnormal breakdown or synthesis of nutrients, causing symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, and organ damage. Diabetes is a great example.

Its an exception to be healthy now that we start our kids on fiat food so early.

This is my kid's elementary school.. fucking shameful https://image.nostr.build/453eff8034dcbab9d0bbe1b16815b2c0551bdc3c221d2951892447780d872253.jpg
