6 . There are two kinds of people climbing a mountain. The first, they are smiling, laughing and fully enjoying the journey no matter the effort they have taken. Another group, however, they are struggling. They have to stop and catch their breath 10 times on the way up. 1 It’s their lifestyle choices. We’ll give you three main reasons your pursuit of health and youth through lifestyle choices is an essential.
You should build a strong foundation now. You probably know people who’ve survived a horrific disease — and it was said that their preexisting physical and spirits strengthen their bodies for battle and made them better equipped to endure stresses. That’s true with the recent COVID-19 pandemic: Severe cases are more likely for those with preexisting conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease and so on. 2 That is, healthy choices will help prevent chronic disease and set you up for a long life.
It’s unclear how many reboots you’ll get. Perhaps in a utopian 25th-century world, there will exist some places that allows you to walk into a booth, press a few buttons, and erase every cigarette you’ve smoked, every couch you’ve potatoed, every potato you’ve ever fried. 3 Your ability to maximize their effectiveness will depend on your commitment to improving your biology through proven means: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, not smoking, and stress management.
4 The human brain remains the final biological frontier. So even if science ultimately allows us to correct our cells, genes, and other mechanisms that make our bodies work, when your brain goes, you will too. 5 And the steps are the same as those you can take to protect the rest of your body.
| A．What’s the difference between them? |
| B．No matter what happens, your brain needs you. |
| C．You have the ability to change how your brain works and reacts. |
| D．The same thinking will apply when we’re talking about longevity. |
| E．So you will definitely self-engineer your DNA switches to protect your brain. |
| F．Your longevity depends more on the aggregate of what you do most of the time. |
| G．But for the near future, it’s far more likely that your reboot chances will be limited. |
