I've recently read Dr. Peter Attia's book, "Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity" and he talks about the failures of our modern medical system when it comes to preventing (or at least delaying) disease instead of treating disease once it is present.

Cancer is one of what he refers to as the "Four Horsemen" (the chronic diseases of aging - cancer, heart disease, metabolic dysfunction and metabolic syndrome, and neurodegenerative diseases).

His book focuses on a number of changes we can make to reduce our risk of these chronic diseases of aging, one of which is exercise and physical fitness.

I would highly recommend the book to anyone interested in living not only a longer life, but a more enjoyable life in old age.

Great read, especially the section on how important emotional health and wellbeing are to overall health.

Agreed, that section led me to dig into "No Bad Parts" by Richard Schwartz for more information on Internal Family Systems, which I find fascinating.
