Doctors And Nurses Are Calling Out The “Bad” Health Habits You Need To Stop Doing ASAP

“A lack of exercise. Find a type of exercise/physical activity you enjoy, and do it regularly. (Ideally, this would be a mix of some form of cardio as well as strength training/weight-bearing exercise.)”

“I’m in healthcare as an RN. So many chronic illnesses we encounter are wholly preventable. Also, most issues are further complicated if the patient is already in poor physical shape. Exercise and eating a balanced diet can help stave off many chronic issues as you age.

One thing that stuck with me was a patient, J.D., who was barely 50. J.D. suffered from hypertension and some diabetes. He was also getting treated for ulcers on his legs. J.D. was sedentary and overweight among his many, many issues. J.D. lived a life of ‘just doing whatever.’ Compare this to my over-55-year-old Brazilian black belt in my BJJ gym. Of course, he’s nowhere near how he was in his prime, but good God, he rips us apart when he decides to spar with us somewhat seriously. From a young age, he basically lived his life like an athlete, and he’s reaping the benefits as he ages.”
