One of the most healthy people I ever knew collapsed in her kitchen one day to a cerebral haemorrhage aged 39. Died well before the ambulance arrived.
She never drank, never smoked, was an athlete in her youth, jogged every morning, was rarely unwell, had a healthy diet, got lots of sleep, had a good work life balance but in the end it was just a blood vessel in her brain that decided to pack up with no warning whatsoever.
Anything can take us out at any time. We're surrounded by danger at every moment of our lives, even from things we cannot possibly prevent such as a massive burst of cosmic radiation from an exploding star in our near galactic vicinity.
The key is to live each day like it's your last and have fun with what you're doing, because you might not wake up tomorrow.
