Our Future in Mind?
Would we live differently with our future in mind? I am kind of split on this topic. I think it is easy to say yes, we definitely would change our behaviors. We could see the negative effects our choices have made on our bodies and the life we would end up with as we age. I think people would be motivated to maintain a healthier lifestyle in regard to diet, behaviors(smoking etc.), and life choices(like safety). However, these ideas are easily tossed aside in order to indulge in the pleasures of the "here and now." It is difficult to not live in the moment, especially when consequences can be years down the road.

Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI like the graphic on your post. People plan for retirement in anticipation for life after work. When it comes to our health, planning doesn’t go as smooth. Honestly, people who’ve had people die from a disease start to take their eating habits seriously to prevent the same course. Part of the reason that I have made lifestyle changes for the future is because I have had several female family members die from cancer. It is in my lineage, so I have to show concern and make changes.
