Why I’d Rather Die Fast Than Die Slow

Most people don’t like talking about death, especially when it’s tied to health. But here’s a perspective that might change how you view your lifestyle choices:

Would you rather live with preventable health issues for 40 years? Or live strong and healthy, then pass away later in life with fewer regrets?

Let me explain.

What It Means to "Die Slow"

Dying slow isn’t about age—it’s about quality of life. If you spend decades battling preventable diseases like:

  • Type 2 diabetes

  • Obesity-related heart issues

  • High blood pressure

  • Metabolic syndrome

…then you’re technically alive, but not truly living.

Living with chronic health problems in your 30s, 40s, or 50s means sacrificing energy, freedom, and sometimes even dignity. You may need to take pills daily. You may be in and out of hospitals. You may not be able to play with your kids or travel comfortably.

That’s not how I want to live.

So What’s the Alternative?

To put it bluntly: I’d rather die fast than die slow.

That doesn’t mean being reckless. It means:

  • Taking care of your body now

  • Prioritizing movement, lifting, and cardio

  • Eating mostly whole foods

  • Building habits that protect your long-term health

Will these things make you immortal? Of course not. But they dramatically reduce the chances of living with disease for decades.

If something does happen later in life, I want to go out knowing I lived a full, energetic life, not one spent in slow decline.

In anime terms: It’s better to go out like Whitebeard, standing tall in the fight, than to slowly waste away off-screen.

You Don’t Have to Be Perfect. Just Intentional

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about doing your best today to protect your tomorrow. You don’t need a six-pack or a perfect diet. You just need a system that helps you move more, eat better, and stay consistent.

If you want to avoid the slow fade, start now.
