Vaccinations! They are the most rigorously tested d***s out there and have demonstrated their effectiveness over the course of decades, saving millions of lives.

The same people that whine about the "risks of vaccinations" will then eat an unhealthy diet or drink alcohol, or do d***s, or stress themselves (and others), or... - all things that are known to be detrimental, but apparently they're okay because the guy with the brain worm doesn't hate on them. I'd say let them, if it was not for the innocent who suffer.

Potatoes. They are rich in Vitamin C (antioxident) and loaded with other vitamins, minerals and fiber.
It is the additional stuff; butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, etc that adds the calories.
But "FLAVOR?" you may ask. Baby potatoes with a little olive oil, herbs or salt and pepper and roasted are delicious.

Being on your own! Sometimes I just go for a walk by myself just to clear my head and think, sometimes your own company is the best company.

Yes! about 2 years ago I was suffering mentally, which I had not experienced in my life. I have always been lucky that way. So I started going for walks daily, by myself, and it did wonders! I would go walking with no headphones in. I would put my phone in my pocket and then just walk and look at the world around me. It healed me in so many ways!!!! Highly recommend!

Using the word, "no" without falling into an argument about it. Personal boundaries are healthy. And complex carbohydrates; our bodies actually need them for many different reasons. I only add that last one because a coworker is a first-time keto dieter and they are being really annoying currently about their "amazing progress" of losing water weight from being VERY overweight to begin with.

Hard to write this without being censored...but I understand that for a man, keeping the prostate exercised with regular activity, even solo, is likely to reduce the chances of prostate cancer in later life. Regardless of your view on the morals of the sin of Onan, your teenage son might just protecting his future health when he's alone in his bedroom.

If it's a well balanced diet and you don't talk to me about it, it's perfectly fine.
#9
Lifting heavy weights.... I know that's realitive because one person may think 10 pounds is heavy and another might think 500 pounds is heavy. But the key is to life as heavy as you can because this forces your body to build up your muscle and bones.
And no.. you won't end up looking like a body builder unless you take the growth hormones so start lifting!!!!

Fruit. Some health fanatics refer to fruit as "nature's candy" and only view it as loads of sugar because of the fructose in fruit. All types of food, including vegetables, meats, dairy and grains, have types of sugars. They're ignoring how many vitamins and minerals are loaded in fruits and they taste better than vegetable, imho.

Fruit is healthy until you make it into a smoothie. It totally changes the way we digest it - basically we don't have to and we get too much sugars. Blend veg instead.
