12. Procrastinating on Health-Related Matters
It is essential to regularly check your blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels for if these three key elements are heightened, they are the biggest silent risk factors that contribute to fatalistic ailments, such as diabetes, heart diseases and strokes.
Research reveals that adults in their mid-50s tend to have a 90% risk of developing high blood pressure, even if they never experienced its symptoms throughout their lives. So, if you believe that you didn’t develop hypertension throughout your life, you won’t develop it in your 50s, that’s just wishful thinking.
13. Obesity
Statistics reveal that obesity is one of the gravest and greatest risk factors that contribute to the development of heart diseases. Nearly 72% of men and 64% of women in the US are obese or overweight, which also puts them at a greater risk for developing heart ailments.
14. Diet Full of Empty Calories
If your diet is brimming with meals that are extremely high in fats, sugar and oil, you are devouring empty calories that contain very few, and in most cases non-existent, nutrients to energize your body. Research reveals that a diet that is largely based on empty calories contributes to the risk factors that lead to obesity and diabetes.
Instead, create your daily diet with nutrient-rich superfoods, such as eggs, fruits, vegetables, seafood, beans, peas, whole grains, unsalted nuts, essential oils and seeds. Take some low-fat milk, fat-free yogurt, poultry and lean meats to create a healthy balance and tasteful variety.

Actually our sleep is the most important thing in our lives. We will definitely die without Delta and Rem levels of sleep. Our bodies do not rejuvenate, memories aren’t made. Eventually, we become mentally unstable and are worse than perpetually drunk. And of course, it will destroy your heart, but in your madness, you won’t even notice. That’s why it’s called torture!! Sadly, some of us suffer from this disorder, and there is no cure. My specialist called it death by 1000 cuts.

Sodium intake causing high blood pressure is only true in the short term – only of concern if you are already dealing with high blood pressure. As for the rest of this, bang on. My only question is how does one manage to get enough calories from vegetables and fruits alone? It would seem rather difficult – as fruits and especially vegetables tend to be very dilute sources of caloric intake.
Smoking is probably the worse thing you can do to your health aside from drinking too much regularly, I’ve watched several friends and relatives pass away from it. It’s the most insidious way to die.
Post a pic. I bet you look 55. I’m 43 and I’m yet to meet a smoker my age that doesn’t look 12 years older.
Pz what can I do becos I smoke a lot
It has been successful 25 days that i have left smoking. I am a patient of high blood pressure and i am on meds (Amlo). Initially it was a tough decision and despite of deciding, i was unable to survive for even a day and end up smoking a ciggerate.
Motivation is the key. I downloaded a app to help me quit. It shows how many days i was smoke free and helped me to keep up. Self motivation is only that can help. There are many app for this. Now after 25 days of smoke free lungs, i feel full of oxygen and can actually breath deep.
