Yes! I am genetically predisposed to illnesses too. My mother has high blood pressure and heart disease which I could have too if I wouldn't control my diet and exercise. In my mother's side, almost all of them are obese and I can't be obese also and so I am trying my best to be fit and healthy.I am just aiming to be more fit and healthy in general because I know I'm genetically predisposed to some types of illnesses so I'm trying as much as I can to live healthily earlier on in life so I don't end up like my parents who aren't as at peak condition as they can be at their age. Also, I'm not that into exercise so I figured changing my diet would be a bit more fitting for me, and from the small amount of research I've made online, fortunately, it sounds like there might be some sense in focusing more on my diet than on exercising, although I do like to take walks outdoors and I do that almost daily.
It is good for you to realize that. Self-discipline is difficult but I hope you'll be able to persevere and achieve your goal. Health is wealth really.My goal is to lose weight, I am overweight right now and I wanted to change my lifestyle. I don't want to wait for another year or another time to make a change because that just would make me lazy. I exercise everyday, every night, I do some basic exercises and do them 30 times. I cut most of the unhealthy foods I intake, I only drink water now and try not to eat rice, sweets, and snacks. My long-term goal for this is to live a healthy lifestyle because health is wealth. I can't afford to pay something expensive just because I did not take care of my health.
