People keep telling they'd sacrifice everyting for an hypothetical silver bullets while doing nothing in their day to day life to mitigate all these disease. Eat clean, exercise, 8 hours of deep good uninterrupted sleep, &c.

3/4th of people are obese or overweight, the average Joe walks like 4k steps a day, people, at large, don't give a shit about health until they get a terminal diagnosis



>the average Joe walks like 4k steps a day

Which is not that bad. 10k/steps was a made up marketing goal from a speedometer company. The sweet spot is around 7k/steps day, but 4k/steps day is already seeing benefits.


Not everyone can just choose to get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep! I’d love to.
