Poor diet and exercise. Absolute top above everything else. Heart disease is the number one killer worldwide, and heart disease can be prevented in most people by a clean diet AND exercise. You need to do both, more of one doesn't make up for lack of the other.
(Well, aside from doing objectively dangerous things, like using dangerous drugs, going insanely fast on a motorcycle, or playing Russian roulette every day.)
Physical idleness, overeating, smoking, drinking. You can dodge a lot of the risks just by never getting fat, staying active and being moderate/sparing with food, drink, and drugs.
Gluttony and sloth. I would also say wrath, being mad all the time is bad not just for those around you but also hard on your own body.
I'm old enough that I get the colonoscopy done as routine care. The doctor I went to said that in her opinion, the starting age for those needs to be rolled back to about 30 and many people should have 5 year interval not 10. Because a lot of what ends up being cancer can just be removed easily and never turn into anything if caught early.
I don't eat much junk and try to get enough fiber, so far so good. But I do think plastics in the environment are hard to avoid and problematic, and agree with that doctor. I go every 5 not 10.
Drinking I do, one drink couple times a week. Gave up most of my diet coke drinking though, iced green tea unsweetened is also no calorie some caffeine and oh so refreshing, has been a good replacement.
Everyone dies. I just want to feel good and healthy as long as possible. Good habits aren't really about living LONGER so much, they are about feeling good while alive.
Hell yeah brutther I'm riding a Yamaha Super Tenere, gave up the liter bike after thinking OP's same question, here's a picture on some trails I had no business being on with those tires.
I'd say 'keeping up with the Joneses'. Getting tangled up in that whole stress trap is so innocuous that many people don't appreciate how bad it is to push it all to the point that an affluent household is 2 paychecks away from destitution. It's just some cultural thing that keeps people awake at night and to even address it with candor is verboten

Add drinking to it, and you've got the trifecta of early deaths.

Invading the Ukraine.

It's Ukraine, without "the". "The Ukraine" is the soviet name, which Putin likes to use.

It's a beaut. Thanks for the share.
I've always wanted to try a dual sport, but I don't think my legs are long enough. They always look super tall (compared to my bike).
TrollTrollrolllol@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 192d
They are definitely tall

Never understood that mindset, if anything I do the opposite. Insist on doing it for less.
You spent £500 on a hipster campfire. I made a fire hole for nothing.
