Eating healthy is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of healthy habits. This is common sense when thinking about what the most common cause is of sickness: being overweight. Deciding which habits keep you healthy and happy is not reserved for cancer patients with a pandemic on our hands.
I listen to people who don’t want to adopt change, don’t want events to be postponed, who don’t believe closing schools is a good idea. To me it’s all the same: nobody likes to change their comfy lifestyle, especially not because of a government decision. But what if you decided for yourself what is the right thing to do?
It’s everyone’s urgent decision. Why not start with healthy habits suggested by medical experts instead of worrying, watching media, staring at trends and stockpiling? I remember the period after hearing I was diagnosed with cancer clearly. It forced me to rethink my life, my habits, my stress patterns and come to terms with my deepest fears.
So why is having cancer so different from deciding to start living a healthy lifestyle as a healthy person? Why is the lack of urgency such a recipe for repeated delay? Because cancer gives you a clear deadline. Not by choice but by nature. Nature provides us many such signals, if only we would listen and act.

Not to change habit, do what everybody else do protect usually all humans as well as animals. For humans it's not valid anymore. It leads to wrong nutrition, "Hamsterkäufen", endless consumption without care. But everybody can be the first in his own community to start change. Show others that there is change, writing a blog be the first who cares. Leaving the comfort zone is the start in a complete new universe. Life slow, sail fast!
