First amongst these are poor lifestyle choices – food we eat, our overall nutrition intake, sedentary lifestyle with little or no physical activities – whether we take the stairs or choose the elevator, whether we take time out for a half–an-hour-a-day-exercise or convince ourselves that the world will fall apart without us during that half an hour and that ‘we have no time’. Also, at the root of this menace are the short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops we have created that are destroying how our society has worked for us for thousands of years: no civil discourse, no cooperation – we choose to place a hand-held device on their hands when our kids seek quality time with us.
We first make our habits, and then our habits make us. – John Dryden.
