The life story of a typical 30-year-old tolstyachka. A look into the future

We so often you save time for something more important. But we all forget that it is very unwise to cut out a minute and, on the other hand, lose years of life the coffin itself with the youth. Story below - an attempt to present the future of man, which is slightly moved away from the healthy way of life and see only 10... 20... 30... 40 years. I was struck by this story, and I began to represent their brothers, their parents, uncles and aunts, and grandparents. I know what happened to them today, and I know only a part of their life, but it would be nice to know the rest of their lives, and all those wrong decisions made by them in the 30. We wrote the future today, but your task is to do the opposite. Such life hacking.

When you are thirty, you're young and healthy, overweight brings only aesthetic dissatisfaction and difficulty in buying clothes. Do not you think that is waiting for you in ten years. You're lying on the couch and watch TV for hours or sit at the computer and do not want to limit yourself to the pleasures and their weaknesses. A boring statistics about increased risk of some sort of disease due to obesity, says little. And yet, every year, and every extra kilogram risk of these diseases increases steady (arithmetic?) Progression.

Maybe we should try to look into the future?
