That’s a pretty silly way to look at this trade-off. The choice is not between giving up something and dying. The choice is between (slightly) changing the enjoyment you get out of life and (slightly) changing the distribution of your life expectancy and/or what you will die of.
There are a lot of choices like that and different people make different choices.
