nutrition is the most important factor to having a health long life
I did not realize this as much when I was younger, but after medical school, it became apparent to me that nutrition is the most important factor in enabling oneself to have a maximally healthy life and a maximal longevity of life.
It is the major factor in maximizing quality of life in the longrun too.
Furthermore, all calories are not the same. The molecules that a person ingests has a large impact on health. Therefore there is a lot to learn about nutrition, healthy cooking, and satisfying eating habits.
The most important factors that I have learned is to minimize overly processed foods. They are still enjoyable to me, but in much lower quantities, even if they happen to be more economical and affordable at times.
So optimize sugar intake.
optimize oil intake.
and optimize salt intake.
If you are eating too much of these things already, then minimize your intake for a long period of time, 1 to 6 months, or even a year or two. even go on a no sugar diet. if sugar is your problem. Or a no oil diet, if oil is your problem. Or a no salt diet if salt is your problem.
Too much sugar leads to diabetes type 2 and obesity related diabetes.
Too much oil leads to atherosclerosis and effects of atherosclerosis such as coronary artery disease and eventually myocardial infarctions.
Too much salt leads to hypertension.
Do note, though, that too little of these nutrients do have adverse effects also:
too little of sugar can cause hypoglycemia.
too little of oil will decrease fat reserves on your body and can result in anorexia.
too little salt will cause hyponatremia.
Having typed that though, it ismuch more likely to suffer disease from overindulging in sugar, oll, and or salt, than from deficiencies of these nutrients, elements, and molecules.
