How come some people can live unhealthily?

[healthiskey]

I see some people i knew from high school who drank and smoked and done drugs throughout high school and still do them and just lived really unhealthily yet they still look the same and show no signs of being unhealthy? They're all around 20 now so i'm confused how they get away with it.

at about 20 years old you.are young and strong so your body can take a good bit of abuse and recover quickly.

you can be sure theres a price to pay for it later in your life if you dont change your ways while you can.

ho i wished these guys could wear my shoes for a day or two...in fact they should be forced to wear my shoes for an hour before they are allowed to smoke..😏

Hi Hector,

This is very true,how we treat our bodies when we are young,most people do not give it a second thought what we are doing to ourselves,we think things will never change.... but they do.

It could easily take 10 years or more for the effects of bad lifestyles like that to start showing up, the human body is amazingly robust.

If people had a heart attack an hour after eating an unhealthy meal we'd all be eating more healthy - it's precisly the long lag between cause and effect that can make motivation to be healthy hard as we don't see the consequences right away.
