I saw an article on Cuba’s healthcare recently. It pointed to how they have very good life expectancy and low infant and maternal mortality rates, even subjected to decades of brutal blockade.
Thought about preventive healthcare
Floss. Poor dental health affects overall health significantly.
Eat well. Sugar is hidden in everything and home cooked food from basic ingredients seems to be going out of style.
Keep active.
Get healthy sleep.
Meet other humans and do stuff with them.
People will do lots of other things and have small “health hacks”. But if you don’t get the basic things right then it’s not really something you can fix by taking “antioxidants” or other measures.
Reducing stress. It doesn’t mean that you should ignore your problems. It’s all about trying methods that allow you to cultivate calmness through meditation and breathing, slow conscious breathing is known to have an effect on the brain
I try to live by a sort of chill flow chart:
A PROBLEM HAPPENS! CAN I DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?| | YES NO | | | | DO THE THING | | | | | ------------- | | DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT
