Blog 11 If everyone lived "with our future in mind" do you think that we would live different?

In our teenage years we are not thinking about living the right way for our future. These times are probably some of the hardest on our bodies. Drinking and smoking are big things in high school and college. At this age, we chose not to realize the damage these two products do on our body. I think individual who have grown up in a home with a parent who has been ill understands the great reasons to start taking care of themselves when they are young. I definitely think if we changed our behaviors at an early age the drinking and driving, drugs, smoking would not get the opportunity to due such harm to our body.

None of us know what is in store for us in the future. I had no idea that I would face cancer before I was thirty-five years old. However, if we live life better with health and exercise it lowers the risk for major illness. It gives us the opportunity for longevity in our life. Many of us are blessed with longevity in our genes and to enjoy it taking better care of yourself in younger years is a must.
