Outside of drinking and smoking, what things do you know of that are shown to shorten a lifespan?

Living a sedentary lifestyle is an easy one, and loneliness is supposedly just as bad for your long-term health as smoking. Looking for some other ones as the thought of shaving years off of my life is what makes life more bearable

Never a guarantee, look at how many of the people reach 100 and smoke and drink daily

All a plan like this really does is lower your quality of life. I mean yeah you will probably die a few years earlier in the end at an older age but the time until then will just suck more if this is your actual CTB plan. May as well have as much of your health as is possible.

You can probably use something like TikTok to speed up cognitive decline. Just don't play certain video games since that apparently can actually help strengthen your Myelin sheaths or something.

Fast food and unhealthy meals in general are also a pretty good take I think.

Suicide lol

On a serious note, many people live an unhealthy lifestyle for decades, and they're ok... I know of several. Don't presume it'll kill you quicker, there is absolutely no guarantee. I assume it wouldn't be a nice death anyway, probably slow and painful.

I have a friend that is very large, and she has been for decades, and she's only in her early 30s. She doesn't exercise, as she believes you can be healthy at 'any' size, which is crap.

When she walks up a flight of stairs, well, she's fucked, she wheezes and all sorts. She quit smoking a few years back. When she's merely sitting, she's out of breath... I'm a smoker, with asthma, a healthy weight, and I work out a lot, and I do other things as well as my intense workouts 3-4 days a week to keep active.

I'm pretty active, and working on constantly getting fitter as it is good for the mind, it is impossible to be too fit, unlike being unfit. I can easily run up a flight of stairs without dying. I couldn't imagine anything worse.

I'm working on quitting smoking (again), but I'm as fit as a fiddle. I remember when I wasn't - it was awful. So embarrassing, I felt so gross all the time. Trust me, you DON'T want this. Sedentary doesn't mean you'll be that big, of course, but it will make you THAT unfit. You'll feel so shit. You can be slim and ultra unfit.

Why do you want to do that to yourself? I don't understand.

and not even bad habits. Genetics plays a big role. We're doomed to suffer. It's truly unfair to those of us who can't recover. Options: CTB, waiting for the disease to strike, or dying naturally. I don't know what's considered natural these days. It's an injustice that we live lives filled with pain and suffering, and that we're kept alive in these conditions while healthy people enjoy life. It's not right.

Then we might as well at least go for this. Might actually enjoy life.
Browsing this site for a long time is going to do it.

Before everyone brings out their pitchforks. You know I'm right, The doom and gloom will certainly be a factor.There's both good and bad on this site.

Walk for miles and miles until you can, do that everyday and you will get cardiac problems, I was doing that to escape my emotions, it can feel euphoric tho

True. There's a lot of old people doing everything supposedly wrong to their bodies and living a terribly long time.
I've tried stress, workaholic, emotional isolation, and how nice I never get sick and have no underlying health problems at nearly 60.
