    S2 E9. When You're Young, You Think You're Immortal: Health, Aging, and the Habits We Take for Granted

    Episode Title: When You're Young, You Think You're Immortal Episode Description: When we're young, we think we can do anything. We stay awake for days, survive on coffee, eat whatever we want, and barely think about the consequences. We believe our bodies can take anything—as though we're going to live forever. But growing older changes that perspective. In this episode, I reflect on my younger years, when sleepless nights, endless cups of coffee, and unhealthy habits were simply part of everyday life. Now, as I approach another stage of life, I've come to realize that health is perhaps one of the most important investments we can ever make. I also revisit a time when children spent hours outdoors—running, walking, playing, and interacting face-to-face—long before smartphones, social media, and mobile games became part of our daily lives. Have we gained technological convenience at the expense of physical activity and human interaction? And what can today's younger generation learn from the experiences of those who came before them? Inspired by Saint John Bosco's words, "Shout, run, jump, play, sing, but don't sin," this episode is a personal reflection on aging, healthy habits, physical activity, and the importance of taking care of ourselves before life forces us to. Because the best time to invest in your health isn't when you become old. It's while you're still young.
