Shorter Lifespan

The lifespan of the people of this century have dramatically decreased over the past few years. Why? I think it’s because of the kind of food and environment we have now. In the Bible, the oldest man lived to be 969 years old and in average lived past beyond 100. Why? Because there is indeed a big difference in lifestyle and the world we live in today.

Today the food is processed and it’s a rare case that people eat fresh and healthy food. The environment that was given to us clean is now polluted because of what we called advancements. These two things have become primary factors that caused the body to age rapidly and grow weak. That is why people can easily incur diseases and sicknesses such as cancer (newest discovery is mesothelioma), heart attacks, diabetes, AIDS and many more.

Since the damage has already been done, it is really hard to live a longer life as of this point of time. The only thing left for us to do is try to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid vices so that we can enjoy life fuller. Besides, death is inevitable and all we need is to be ready for it especially in spiritual matters!
