Why Long-Term Health Thinking Is Your Competitive Edge
Our ancestors worried about their next meal, not their next decade.
This is why it's hard to think about your health in 5 years, 10 or even 20.
But you must.
The winners today, both financially and physically, are low-time preference thinkers—the rare ability to choose future rewards over instant gratification.
Most people treat their health like day traders: chasing the latest trend, abandoning ship when results don't materialize in a week, then reverting to their average routine soon after.
Meanwhile, the healthiest people I know have daily routines that are boring as heckkk.
And that's exactly how it should be.
Your results are found in the boring, the mundane, the simple.
Figure out how to build a daily life based on the BORING first principles of health.
Sunlight isn't going to increase your testosterone (men) or improve your mood (women) overnight.
But 30 days of getting it daily certainly will.
The same goes for just about everything else.
So you start taking magnesium because you probably need it (we all do). But should you expect to feel it the first few days? Maybe. Maybe not. That's. very person dependent.
But what about over 30 days or 60? How much better will you feel when your body is getting adequate levels of this vitally important mineral?
That's the question.
And the same is true for just about everything (especially b-vitamins: 👋 Wild Multi).
No matter what you do, think LONGER term.
Avoid high-time preference behavior. The more often you can forgo short term rewards for longer term, then better you do.
