In this vlog I talk about a personal experience: a family member who has always been super fit and healthy recently got diagnosed woth a terminal disease. He must be the healthiest person I have ever known, and all of a sudden his life changed drastically after being told he has cancer.
My point might be quite pessimistic or negative, but this is how I feel today. Maybe in a week or even tomorrow I have another perspective about all this. But what I think is that, is it really a good thing to take care of our body our entire lives? What is the point in avoiding the unhealthy things that we like (sugar, salt, alcohol, smoking, etc) if in the end even the healthiest ones can end up with cancer or another devastating diseases.
Please don´t let my negative vibes affect you.
Thanks for watching and have a good day!

Sorry for your loss. You are right that living "healthy" is over-rated, but I'd like to say few things. Problem nowadays is that nobody even knows what healthy means and all the wannabes are acting like their something. As an example about bs that goes around is the claim that gym goers should get as much protein as possible and avoid carbs to death. That's total bs as science actually tells that we should get most of our calories from carbs. It is also that everybody is so sensitive that if something have even little bit of negative effect it is considered to be bad. Human organs need some challenge sometimes, and you get sick if you only eat one type of food. Lastly I would question running as much as your step-dad did to be any healthy. All top-athletes are more likely to get diseases spesific to their profession. Constantly pushing your limits is not healthy. People are just being lazy and try to find the easy-key to happiness by pointing singular things to be the root of all evil, like sugar or fat.
Life fucking sucks. Grrr thats why i take care of myself but also smoke, drink and party like crazy. Cause life is too short and we never know when it going to throw us a curved ball and change the whole game. So when someone tell me that I am hurting myself by doing this things I really dont care. Because i enjoy them and I want to enjoy my life :)
I wouldn´t say life sucks. Humans suck, that is for sure. Wealth distribution sure sucks. Politicians SURE suck.
But I`m not saying everything in this world is shit... hell no. There is beer and food. There are friends and family. Love and cuddles. I also have my soft side, I am not always a complaining machine 😂.
But yeah... I agree that there are way too many fucked up things in this lame ass world.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Sergio! See you around.
Ehehe no worries. I will always take the trophy when it comes to conplaining eheheh lol
Sorry to hear what you and your family have to go through! I really hope your stepfather will be going well through the treatment and will be back on track someday! Life is not fair and it seems to punish those people who always try to make it best. All I can say that I wish your family all the best! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I just can imagine it takes guts to open yourself about it. Best from Barcelona
Thanks a lot for your kind words and support. He is in Brazil now getting himself checked by the best doctors around.
Really appreciate your words @hauptmann!
Dam bro... Always horrible to see somebody suffer!
I used to work in a hospital and started off as a healthcare assistant.
Cleaning up after patients, changing beds etc..
One time I cared for a young guy who had bowl cancer, well he was a little older than me and I used to see him a few times a day, depending on where I was put.
I answered his call bell one time... The little button you push when you need assistance and I went in his room to see that he shat the bed a good one,, literally everywhere and it was my duty to sort him out.
We had a giggle and he was embarrassed at the mess he made, I wasn't very happy ... but you learn to smile and get on with it.
He looked at me during the cleaning and he said to me "What are you doing with yourself Jeff. You shouldn't be here doing this man "
He told me that since I am in good health to pursue your dreams and desires.
About a year later I made the decision to do that.
I am not sure where he is now but if you happen to see this buddy, thanks for the kick up the ass and I wish you all the best and hope your recovery was alright.
Sending fist bumps and hugs to your step pops Bru and I wish him a good recovery.
Big hugs man.
Peeeace.
I am so sorry that happened :( But don't stop living a healthy life because of it! They way I think about it is, anything can happen to anyone. But, why not give our bodies the best shot a fighting disease and sickness. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle our quality of life will be better for longer.
My heart goes out to your family.
Thank you so much for the support.
I know that I should take care of myself, its just that some days I reconsider and I don´t really know what to think.
Again, Thanks for the words.
Well, for starters, it’s not just tobacco or drinking alcohol, we have tons of other carcinogens which have unfortunately become part of our daily exposure. From food to personal cosmetic products, the plastic keys on the keyboard I’m using to type this very article and the radiation i am exposed to from the screen i am looking at, to the power-lines that power my computer and the wifi signals that connect me to the internet – it’s all unnatural and in some way changing my DNA.
You are right. We have no scape really.
I think we should change the way we see death. Its not that bad really...
For example in Mexico they celebrate when their relatives pass away, I like that.
I can feel your disappointment and sadness. Really!
Indeed, every human being will experience the end. No matter how tasty he feels the pleasures of life in the world, no matter how much he satisfies his lust and gulps the pleasure of the world, he will nevertheless experience the end. Dead! That's the end. Something that can not be avoided. Just sooner or later!
One thing I want to say: if the pain is not for death, there must be a cure. However, if the pain for death, there is no cure. It's God's secret. Therefore, remain grateful because the world is indeed mortal.
I am sorry if there are my uncomfortable words.🙏
Hope there is a way!
Hey thanks a lot for your caring words.
As a matter of fact, I believe that Medicine must already have found a cure for Cancer, but releasing it to the masses would mean BIG monetary losses for the industry. Remember that health care is a business, the most twisted one in my opinion.
For them its more profitable to slowly kill you with chemotherapy, keeping you barely alive while draining your bank account than to actually cure you. That is how I see it. Same with water running engines, sure there are some really good ones already designed, but the petrol Industry doesn´t want that for sure... you get my point.
Again, thanks for caring and for your supporting words.
Yes I understand that many games in the medical world. They spend your money. Possible, I see from the side in that life is something that set, the Lord. In fact I want to share a lot about cancer but it is not possible since there traditional medicine that can kill cancer cells to keakar-roots. If kemotrapi just kill cells both in the body. But whatever it, I as friends and also the new follows you contribute to pray for the sake of loved ones you to quickly healthy back as normal.
Thanks for the beautiful friendship.🙏
healthy body doesn't mean healthy mind.
of the two, healthy mind will equal a longer, happier life.
but it is important to have a body that can enjoy the world.
or you can go the other way and be too stubborn to die.
That is SOOOO true, you just left me thinking a lot.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
That's how it goes I'm afraid. I have worked in oncology in hospitals and it seemed to me that there was no reason for a lot of the cancer that people suffered from affecting all different sorts of people at different stages in their lives.
We eat a lot of Beef in Uruguay, and plenty of it its in BBQ, I think that could be bad when consumed in big quantities.
Yes why that, that looks healthy but it is not healthy, but we should not be pessimistic, health care is important, because cases like you say only 1 out of a thousand people. maintaining health from an early age is very important, maybe consciousness comes too late, after the body is so severe and suffering, then we are conscious and new to health, but it is better than nothing.
Life is so fragile and short that many times we just do not engage in living only a healthy life, and with this I do not say that it is bad to lead a healthy life. Only that there are people who think that by leading a healthy life they will live even more, that those who smoke drink ect Then they live with a fear of everything and the least they do is enjoy it without realizing that they waste the short time here on earth . If it is to lead a healthy life Hugh Hefner would not have lived so much that man in my opinion if I enjoy life in a big way.
sorry to hear about that
i also lost someone close suddenly last year
even though he was very fit
you never know what will happen
just enjoy every bit of your life
Never. Taking care of ourselves is the most important. It's the best gift you can do to yourself. So I think it's not overrated.
I respect your opinion.
Thanks for your constant support man!
Dude, it's kinda yes but it's kinda no. I mean, do what you love and eat whatever the hell out of it are all fine but health is also important. Cancer is another different thing that you can't explain.
Too much salt X A bit of salt to make it tasty /
Too much fat X a bit of it so you know the meat is damn smooth /
Craft beer /
LOLOL ❤
I had 3 hot dogs, Lays chips and Coca-Cola for lunch today... I know thats what a 12 y/o would ask for lunch but oh well... they say to keep the child inside us alive right? 😂😂
I usually kind of take care of myself... its just lately that I feel it may not be worth it. With this I´m not saying I want to get fat and unfit, but I probably won´t live worried all the time about avoiding this and that because its not healthy. Also... I don´t intend to live forever to be honest. Less is more.
Cheers Mo!
Luckily, I personally love healthy food! hahaha, I'm not into junkies >> hot dogs, Lays chips and Coca-Cola << I have stopped! Tho sometimes I crave my favorite fishy chips (You know Thai Style), then I do it every once in a while. Let me get you one when you're in Tailandia! You do whatever make you happy. I do the same ❤️
I think there is more people dying out there from bad lifestyles than healthy people being the unfortunate ones to get diagnosed with a bad disease.
