What do you wish you knew back then?

Health is so important and especially as I have gotten older. I believe there are some habits I wish I had not taken part of - like smoking when I was younger. I am glad I quit.
 

I wish we all knew Bill Gates' secrets eh!

Candy/Sweets were my downfall unfortunately and only have a select few of the original nashers still intact!

The advances in tooth care in recent years, were a few decades too late for mine.....!!
 
I wish I knew (or cared about) then, the value of eating healthy foods and not junk and sweets. I always hated vegetables as a kid, and was a picky eater in some areas. I also smoked, but I quit almost thirty years ago, smart choice! Congrats on your quitting Mabel! ;)
 

I wish that i knew the benefits of exercise and eating right. they always say that your younger years set the tone for the rest of your life! however its never too late!
 
I really wish I had taken better care of my teeth. I only have a couple of my own left now and have to wear dentures. If only I had gone to the dentist regularly. Then again, I'm pretty terrified of the dentist. Maybe dentures aren't so bad.
 
I wish I had been more active in my youth. I always put off becoming fit and I didn't realize how difficult getting active becomes when you're older until it was too late.
 
I wish I had known that M&Ms were not my friends and that the time we had together was neither special nor valuable. I should have spent more time getting to know the cool kids like Carrot and Celery.
 
I wish I had known that Fatty Liver if not taken care of can lead to cirrhosis and in not that long a period of time. The doctors did not tell me. :shucks:
 
Sorry for you, but didn't know that either. Doctors aren't doing their job 😖. My doctor didn't tell me having cholesterol over 200 was bad for you, mines was at 360 my friend who was a nutritionist at the time told me, I was a Ticking Time Bomb. And another doctor didn't tell me I had diabetes, an urgent care doctor did. We deserve better!!!
 
I wish I knew that baking myself in the sun on the beach for hours or in the back yard all those years would dry out and wrinkle my skin in my old age, more than expected. I'm just lucky I never got skin cancer from the sun exposure, knock on wood.

Just think of all that sunshine thats still in you:)
 
I wish I had been raised vegan. 99% of all health problems I experienced, in my early-teens until I became vegetarian, at 25, were a result of my meat-centered diet. When I went vegan, at 40, things got even better.
