Well, they do at least to the extent of helping you live long enough to see the other outcomes. IDK how old you are, but many kinds of unhealthy choices don’t just worsen health and shorten life when you’re very old. They can increase mortality risk at every age.
If I thought that those pivotal changes affecting longevity were going to happen next week or next month, then maybe I’d deprioritize sleep and exercise and diet if there were something else worth doing to prepare. I find it much harder to imagine anything I could do now, that would make me healthier for the next few years but less healthy in the long run.
Agreed. I think if anything I would want to prioritize brain health, but basically everything that makes you overall healthy is also better for your brain so that doesn’t really make much difference.
