A new study, published in The Lancet Public Health, reveals that the food we eat, physical inactivity and obesity are largely to blame, as well as the COVID pandemic.

Of all the countries studied, England experienced the biggest slowdown in life expectancy.

It means that rather than looking forward to living longer than our parents or grandparents, we may find that we are dying sooner.

Countries studied included Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

I don't want to live longer... The human body and mind can only take so much.

By the time you reach current end-of-life ages, existence itself is exhausting and you no longer have the ability, desire, or energy to explore the world, pursue dreams/goals, or do much of anything productive (for yourself or the society you're a part of); while struggling to overcome the years of aches and pains your body has acquired.

At that point, you're just along for the ride, waiting for it to bloody end already.
