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
Evolution doesn’t select for survival per se, more that it selects for survival until reproduction – and in some cases, like with humans, survival at least long enough to rear your children until they become self sufficient, or the evolution of social behaviors leading to community child raising.
Long term survival just wasn’t/isn’t an important trait. You can be pretty reckless with your health and fitness and still be fine well into your fertile years.
