My massive health insight of the past week

In the past three years I

1. have given up smoking
2. have given up alcohol
3. have given up artificial sweeteners
4. no longer view sleep deprivation as heroism and get much more sleep than I used to
5. have gone paleo (i.e. no sugars/starches, minimal carbohydrates and high fiber) in my diet

And while I haven’t stopped aging the signs of aging have more or less vanished.  I now think that aging, up to about fifty or so, should be viewed as your body not forgiving you for damaging it.
