"one of the most dangerous truths of the modern era is this:
all evidence-backed "wellness" and "life-extension" tactics are just basic diet and exercise. Most people have very little they can do to impact their longevity besides regularly go to the doctor and get vaccinated, etc
you have almost nothing to gain from spending money on self-help or body optimization books and courses. most supplements and health topics are bogus. but universal healthcare would meaningfully extend your probably lifespan.
some people react really violently to this idea. this is generally because they take offense at the prospect of being out of control in their lives."
