“What Is Actually Healthy But People Think It Is Not?” (30 Answers)

I do both

looking out the window at 1AM hits diff

I used to tell my father "The best time to relax is when you don't have time to relax."

As long as you do this out of de-stressing,and not because of depression,ADHD or anything similar.. 🙀

And way cheaper, and lasts longer than fresh produce

Yes! And you don't have to eat before they go bad and you can have a portion that you like. Love this ❤️

They're actually often healthier than fresh fruit. Bananas for example get sprayed with a chemical to slow down ripening, then sprayed again to restart the process. That's two chemical baths just to get that fresh stuff shipped to you. Flash freezing doesn't need any of that stuff.

But they taste they taste really good!

They are seasonal for a reason. Don't try to outsmart your good old millions of monkey evolution to eat something when it is not a season when it usually ripes.

It's called enjoying your solitude.

This is very healthy behaviour.

It’s spending TOO MUCH time alone that isn’t healthy. While there’s a wide range of social time-alone time ratios that can be healthy, everyone needs both.

Both ways can make people happy. It's up to you and what you believe in and what gives you happiness

Smugly telling people their religion is garbage is no better than religious people smugly telling people that their religion or lack thereof is wrong.

Religion doesn't make you a good person. Your actions determine who you are.

Given the rise of secularism and the overall decrease in people following organized religions, I would argue more and more people are finding life without religion to be the healthier choice.

The truth shall set you free.

Sometimes the hardest part is not even to admit it, it's to realize it. Too many people think they are knowledgeable on topics they hardly know anything about. Since you're judging your ignorance according to your knowledge, the more you learn, the more you realize you're clueless.

The saying in healthcare is "If you don't know, don't guess."

Honestly, what's wrong with saying "I don't know, let's find out!"?

I'll take a stab at guessing but when I do, always qualify. Sometimes all people need is a good explanation. Sometimes they need a serious answer. Never conflate what you're offering. And yes,, it's 100% okay to not know. Unless you're a surgeon. Performing that surgery.

I know that I am not very smart. I will Knowledge that I don't know about something I know nothing about. There might be someone else close by that knows more about the subject then me and show me up.

Thank you! Also... Legit playpens are safe spaces for littles. New ones aren't built the same way - the one my mom used had sides that could be raised and lowered. She left us in them with one side down, and that was our designated play space that she could move around in case of showers, doing art projects in her studio, working in the kitchen, etc. It wasn't treated like a baby jail. We played and chilled there by ourselves a lot.

I nannied for 3 different families, and I was so lucky that every kid was able to chill by themselves. None of them needed constant in-your-face attention. My one little guy would happily play in his bouncer, probably for hours if I let him.

There is a phase that babies go through when they scream bloody murder when there isn't a parent around. This is a normal part of development. Even the babies that can chill in their crib will eventually reach this point. That doesn't mean I don't think it's okay to leave a child to relax a bit after they wake up. Just that the "These kids don't freak out when you leave the room" isn't a result of that, just that they haven't reached that phase yet.

Just be careful with fruit juice, that's a different beast altogether

Fruit sugar = fructose = slow burning low GI sugar.

Other factors are definitely at play here. If you think an apple vs a spoonful of sugar is the same you're part of the problem.

As a diabetic, fruit can only be had in very small proportion. Even vegetables are questionable. Carrots, corn, beets, many others, have high concentrations of sugar.

It has also been shown that if you consume the same amounts of fructose naturally in whole fruit, compared to the same amount of fructose added to something, the affect on your body is significantly different - the fructose in fruit has a slower impact on your blood sugar levels compared to the exact same amount added to other foods. It has something to do with how it is bonded within the fruit (can't remember the finer details of the research I was reading about it). So a piece of fruit with 'x' grams of fructose/sugar has less impact than foods with the same amount that has been added during production.
