“Poverty. Now, of course, we all know poverty isn’t good for anyone but even now, I don’t think we as a society realize just how bad it is. It backs you into so many corners concerning your health: Worse food, less time for exercise, more stress in life, less money to address physical issues, and it keeps you stuck in toxic environments (both mentally and physically). It’s just a lot of negative compounding interest.”
“Oh man, I was just talking to my good pal about this. We both suffer from bad mental and physical health, and we just cannot improve because poverty is destroying all our resilience. With money, I would still never be healthy, but I could eat better, turn the heating on, and not have such chronic stress.”
