People who neurotically obsess over danger and risk and awful things are not well.
Nothing bad will ever happen to you, and if does all of your anxiety-driven role play preparation goes out of the window. It's all worthless.
It's easy to talk when there's no pressure, but under severe stress, the world looks very different.

Taking care of yourself is far more than worrying about how you're gonna be dead one day.

I think it largely depends on circumstance and necessity for some of those. Everyone should ideally pay attention to nutrition and health, but that can very much be a privilege outside of their reach. It's also difficult for most people to think of potential distant payoffs if they do things like eat healthy. If I eat a carrot today because I read it's good for eye health there's not going to be any proof it ever helped me, even in 30 years of eating them daily. I'll develop an eye issue due to genetics/environment or I won't, we can't just look at our stats like a video game character and say we successfully resisted a disease due to diet.

If you find yourself in situations where self defense or street smarts is needed then you likely don't have the time or money to invest in nutrition. Self-defense stuff can be good exercise and also good for your mental well being, but if you feel that you're in a safe area I think most people don't really want to think about ever needing it. It's one of those "out of sight, out of mind" things.
Ultimately people do the bare minimum of what they think is necessary to survive. It's just our nature to take the path of least resistance.

willpower, anon
taking care of one's health takes time and effort. for most people just keeping themselves slim is hard, especially when surrounded by colorful food advertisements from every possible direction
if you can actually brush your teeth, shower every day, have a skin routine and maintain your bmi in norm you're awesome. If you can also exercise on top of that, and don't do any drugs or alcohol, even more power to you.

I can't anymore. I used to be able to in my like early 20's, but now in my early 30's I don't have willpower for any of that anymore. Life isn't getting better. It's still better then in my late 20' when I had such a depression that I didn't even brush my teeth until one of them broke and started hurting, and even then I would just numb it with vodka for months before finally getting enough willpower to go to the dentist.
