Disease of affluence

Alright kiddo, so sometimes when people have a lot of money and can afford to buy all kinds of delicious food, they might start to eat too much of it. This can lead to a disease called "affluence" or "lifestyle" disease, which means that it's caused by the way they live their life.

Some common examples of affluence diseases are heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and obesity. These can all be caused by eating too much high-fat, high-sugar, and high-calorie foods, and not getting enough exercise to burn off all those extra calories.

Now, it's not just about eating too much junk food. Affluence diseases can also be caused by being too stressed, not getting enough sleep, and even things like smoking or drinking too much alcohol.

So, if you want to avoid getting an affluence disease when you grow up, it's important to eat a healthy and balanced diet, and to get plenty of exercise and rest. And remember, just because you have a lot of money doesn't mean you should forget about taking care of your body!
