Why is it hard for most people to eat healthy or get good sleep or even workout if ultimately this will be good for our health and survival ?
In: Biology
I believe it’s because it cares much more about the here and now and making sure we take advantage of things now.
We evolved where things were scarce and having too much of stuff is a relatively recent thing. Delayed gratification is considered to be quite an advanced thing to do and I can see why. We’re humans, we know logically the benefit of these things yet we still do things that will be easier short term
It goes against our nature to see say a bunch of food when we were living in less plentiful times and to not eat it. Why would you do that?
