It’s teenage heartbreak brought to life – the death of someone who stands for everything wild and free is like the death of wild and free themselves.
In the ‘1960s, rock stars like Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Jimmi Hendrix, died too young – in their 20’s – from drug overdoses.
Today, David Bowie, Maurice White of Earth Wind and Fire, and Glenn Frey of the Eagles, are dying too young in their 60’s and early 70’s from complications of chronic diseases like cancer and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
None of these are glorious ways to go, and of course not every chronic disease is preventable, but if you look at where you are now, and where you want to be at 69, take this message away from these stars gone too soon:
50% of cancers are preventable according to the National Cancer Institute. The main cancer drivers are smoking, alcohol, obesity, and sugar.
Autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis, which are on the rise, are triggered by stressful life events and inflammatory foods.
So what can you do to keep your own wild side alive as long as possible? I recommend starting now.
Even if you’re in your 20’s, the body you’ll have at 69 is something you create starting today.
I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it wont be boring – David Bowie.
