unhealty eating = slow suicide?

somewhere (maybe in "the savage god" about suicide), I read that an unhealthy lifestyle is a slow form of suicide.

at age 55 I've outlived some of my ex-classmates from highschool.

there's also a saying, along the lines of "buried at 60, died at 30."

The human body is capable of healing itself after all sorts of abuse or neglect, but there are small costs. Living an unhealthy lifestyle the costs add up fast and they will need to be dealt with.

well, maybe in lifespan, or maybe in quality of life. I know I would feel better if I stayed on my healthy diet and avoided high fructose corn syrup and junk.

Eating healthy makes me feel lazy instantly. The thought of washing lettuce, cutting fresh veggies makes me want to take a nap. I need to find energy and interest in making healthy food. After work the last thing I want to do is work in the kitchen preparing, cooking and then clean...

Every action does have a reaction. And poor eating has a hefty one, potentially.

There are always ways to make healthy eating simpler and easy. I only cook a few times per week and make my food at the beginning of the week. really makes everything a lot easier.

#5 allwluc, sounds good, can you give us an example of your fast foods (healthy of course). Re-fryed beans are one of my favorites. If you eat eggs, omelets are a good way to use up leftovers.

fridge: Your reply made me laugh. I do feel like it's such a chore to wash lettuce! I often have to work myself up to it.
