Is it too late to make my life expectancy longer?

ok I 15 and im freakin out a bit.I have all of these risks for deadly and non-deadly desises and stuff. like in my family history theres heart disese and cancer and high blood pressure. I’ve also been a second hand smoker my entire life…so definate lung cancer risk. my diet is terrible, its a whole mess of junk food, but its not at bad as I make o be. I drink a lot of soda wich at least one to 2 or 3 cans every day…which doubles my risk for kidney disese and also brings risk of developing diabetes and geting oesophageal cancer. and these are all of the issues I can come up with rite now. im sure there are others I dont know about. but, I mean, are all of these things and my diet and such drasticly lowering my life expectancy? is it too late? is there something I can do to stop losing years of life expectency and mabey even getting back some lost years??? what do I do!? HELP!

Answer #1

You haven’t done too much damage at 15…so as jazlovestoskate says…start the change now…That doesn’t mean you can never eat chips or drink soda…”everything in moderation” is a good way to go.

Worrying about it, tho…that IS hard on your body…fretting and worry type stress are the worst things you can put your body thru…

yes, all those things are obviously affecting your health and lowering your life expectancy but its not too late its never really too late to change you need to start eating more healthily slowly change your diet and soda habit soda drinks are as worse, if not more worse than your diet so switch to water, or flavoured water don’t switch to energy drinks because they still have sugar in them also start eating more healthy foods, cut back on the junk food (you can still have some every now and then) and look around in food magazines, pick out healthy foods you’d like to try and cook them, get your mum to or you can both work on making them together you can also work on exercising for around half an hour a day
