“What’s Something Most People Think Is Healthy Today That Future People Will Shake Their Heads At?” (45 Answers)
You should be drinking celery juice every morning. You must avoid dairy at all costs, but if you want to make your coffee healthier, you should put a spoonful of butter into it. Fruit should be the majority of your diet, but carbs are evil and will cause you health problems. You should go keto if you want to lose weight, but eating foods with a lot of fat is dangerous. You should be using essential oils every day, but the only way you can truly be healthy inside and out is if you have the proper crystals displayed around your home.
When it comes to what is actually healthy, there’s a lot of contradictory information floating around out there. So how are we to know what is safe and what isn’t? After all, some doctors used to recommend smoking cigarettes less than a hundred years ago.
One curious Reddit user recently asked, “What’s something most people think is healthy today that future people will shake their heads at?”, and thousands of people called out common dietary advice, lifestyle practices and habits in the replies. Below, we’ve gathered some of their most thought-provoking responses, so be sure to upvote the things you are wary of as well. Then let us know in the comments what else you think will be viewed as unhealthy in the future, and if you’re interested in checking out another Bored Panda article debunking food and nutrition myths, you can find that right here.

Not vaccinating your children. Where the hell did this trend come from? It's so dangerous and re-inviting deadly diseases like measles back into our society.
The hustle culture. Not everything you do needs to make money. You should be able to have hobbies that stay just that: hobbies.
Indoctrinating children to religion before they’re old enough to use abstract reasoning and decide for themselves
Honestly, this is dumb. When you believe something is good for you - being religious or non-religious, it depends on your preference - you naturally want to share with your kids. And even if you don't want teach them about it, it will still influence them. We shouldn't deny that it has to happen and learn a good way to do it instead.
There's been a really weird trend of people drinking "alkaline water" that has a pH of 9.5 or some s**t. Here's the truth about it: the second it comes in contact with your stomach acid, it's not gonna be alkaline anymore. The pH of your body is most likely fine, and if it actually isn't, you should be in an emergency room instead of listening to some snake oil salesman
A part of "fat acceptance." While, of course, everyone deserves respect, regardless of size, the idea that being very overweight is a healthful lifestyle, is just wrong. Sure, most of the bodily harm of obesity won't catch up to you, until later in life. But it WILL catch up to you. I've been overweight most of my life. While I'm generally healthy, my knees have paid the price, of supporting the extra poundage. Don't fool yourself into thinking you'll escape the bodily harm of long term obesity.
I wish society could acknowledge that being obese is not healthy, and accept and welcome people who are obese, without shaming or discriminating. Being cruel to people doesn't make them lose weight, or help them make healthy choices. It is very hard to sustain a lifestyle of self-dicipline, exercise and healthy eating, while you're being bombarded with judgement, disapproval and disgust every day. I was obese through my teens and twenties, and desperately wanted to lose weight. It's hard. It's harder when you have low self-esteem and everyone around you is expecting you to fail.
The notion that "natural" automatically means healthier.
I'm sick and tired of hearing 'But it's natural sugar!', Yeah it's still fecking sugar and has the same affect. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against sugar (in fact I probably eat too much myself), I'm just tired of people justifying it because its "natural". Asbestos is natural, but that ain't good for you.

Vaping instead of smoking. You're still filling your lungs with stuff that shouldn't be there in the end. Looks like more research is coming out about the risks too. It's not as bad as smoking, but it's got its own issues. It's fine if you're using vapes and e-cigs to quit smoking, but it's gone beyond that for quite some time now. Many people just exchanged one habit for the other.
Lack of access/time in nature.

Very short video formats (TikTok, Instagram stories, YouTube shorts) and their impact on our attention span
TikTok is just a regurgitated Vine. It'll eventually disappear unless it adapts and starts doing longer videos and becomes a competitor for YouTube.
Energy drinks - I'll be amazed if there aren't some long term effects of drinking can after can of Red Bull/Monster etc
I don't think myself or anyone I know have ever considered energy drinks healthy.
From a doctor’s perspective, half of the US health food industry is absolute garbage.
1. Supplements. What’s in them? They aren’t regulated, so anything could be! Many studies have found a lack of actual advertised product at best, harmless filler such as saw dust commonly, and heavy metal and other toxin contamination such as lead and arsenic at worst. All for the cheap price of $$$$$ and your health. Is it possible that some could be helpful for specific things? Yup! But are most things on the shelf going to fit in that category? Absolutely not, no.
2. Most “diet” plans/snacks/products. Low in fat but high in sugar? Serving size of 1/4 of what is sold? Contains some mysterious fruit “scientifically shown” to combat the laws of physics? A laxative in disguise? Most of these plans are just like get rich quick schemes. They are sold to provide a quick path to a healthier and better life. But diet isn’t a quick fix. It’s a slow combination of everyday habits. Diet culture is a toxic scam and their advertisements are sickening both for the lies commonly told and the mental health toll on the targeted audience. Hell, most of the “good choice” food items at the grocery could be considered unhealthy processed garbage.
3. Fruit juice. Despite what Steve Jobs believed, fruit juices are pure sugar in a glass. Calories with limited nutrient content and a high glycemic load.
4. The way we teach physical activity. We use sports as a competition and filter kids out, only supporting the best of the best financially and through school programs. But the reality is that team and club sports can keep people active and engaged in their communities for life. This is healthy. If we can foster low-level skill sports for everyone we will have healthier and happier communities. Except for maybe American football. That s**t will give you brain injuries.
Eat proper healthy foods, stop buying processed, sugary foods and do something physical every day if only just going for a walk...that is a good 'diet'. I never got the keto diet...soooo much fat. I knew someone who went on it, lost weight and felt better, but as soon as she went off the diet, boom.. weight is back...so one has to keep eating all those rich fatty foods forever more? Though I did drool at some of the keto foods and recipes. Also, a tip when shopping, all the healthier food is on the outside of the aisles...stay out of the aisles unless you need baking products like flour, etc..most of it is all processed food.
Buying the latest iphone every f*****g time
I already believe that the majority of fitness influencers would benefit from counselling rather than advising followers on Instagram, so that's undoubtedly the case.
Essential Oils. Lots of silly pseudoscience. And it’s probably pretty unhealthy to breath in aerosolized droplets of oil.
Ironically most essential oil users avoid the oils that actually have some "real" active ingredients like cineol (in eucalyptus oil), menthol (in mint oil) or terpinen (tea tree oil) for being "too aggressive". Also oils should NEVER be used instead of actual medical care.
Soda. Humans aren’t supposed to even consume more than a fraction of the sugar in soda and everyone just smiles and drinks their liquid sugar
Chiropractic "adjustment", it is already something that is negligible in terms of what it does but it can also be dangerous. So many people get injured by it and some even get paralyzed because of it.
Nope. Chiropractic care has made living life with three herniated discs bearable. Traditional doctors only gave me opiates, which didn’t help
Social media. I'm being super hypocritical, but we're gonna look back on social media today the same way our parents looked back on the time they smoked and said "yeah, everybody smoked back then, it really wasn't a big deal. Yeah, we knew it wasn't good for you, but we still did it anyway. No, we didn't think of it as some sort of addiction; we just did it because that's what people did back then."
I doubt this one. The apps and platforms we use will change, but not the habit itself. People are social creatures, first we had penpals, then we talked in forums, then chatroom apps and then BAM social media made things easy. Sure we probably won't use twitter/instagram/whatever 20 years from now, but there will be something.
Children going to class and sitting in school all day 5 days a week for 12 years.
This will probably never change. Most adults just don’t care about educatiom, because: 1. They’ll never go back to school anyways 2. “The school was torture in my days, so why should anyone have better experience?” 3. “More young with good educations mean higher chance someone will steal my job”
But eventually, 100% of the people employed right now's job's will get taken over by younger generations??

We need the system though. Kids can't all study from home because there might not be anyone to watch them. Sending them to school means they get to study in an environment with minimal distractions and appropriate supervision. We need to improve the education system definitely, and the social experience of schools need to be tweaked, but we need our children to go to class and sit at school 5 days a week.
It's babysitting, basically. We need somewhere to park the kids so that both adults can work soul-killing 9 to 5 jobs. Parenting conflicts with that, so the kids must be removed.

If the education system was different then my stress would go down. I’m on the verge of tears every time homework is assigned as i just need to plan out my evening and the homework is just eating up my time till dinner time after which I just get ready to sleep. With all that homework I rarely get time to go out of my house for even a short walk. The weekends invite more homework and more stress so I never enjoy holidays. I don’t look forward to sitting in a classroom as still as possible and listen to a teacher for 8 hours for 5 days a week
I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like your school is stealing your youth with all of that homework. School is what it is..we all did it...though I dont recall school ever been 8 hours!! The amount homework you are getting is all kinds of wrong.

Looking back I spent more combined hours at school on any given week than my working parent
Homeschool your kids. My son is and we fill those afternoons doing meaningful activities like gardening, lawn care, hikes etc.
6-7 hours a day. Waking up early. Doing homework. You can't even have time for yourself, and when you do, it's time to sleep. sfiurfhiwenrvwb
i usually dont get enough sleep bc im using that time to have some time for myself

Yeah, an institution that creates an environment where children can interact with each other, develop social skills, and learn about the world is a travesty, isn't it? Really all kids should spend their childhoods on a couch in front of an iPod. Much better.
The only problem i have with school is the work expectations they set on you. Right now I'm retaking year 12 and have a lot of trouble with working at home. I've been actively trying to change it, for a number of years, and it isnt improving, so ive opted to work around it instead. That means i have to get work done at school alone, and its becoming increasingly obvious that that is not possible. We are expected to do 10 hours of independent study per week, meaning one hour of study per every one hour of lesson. I get 9 hours of free time in the school week to do this work, so doing study *and* homework is proving impossible. I would say I'm a bright student. I got almost straight As in my GCSE. But in my Y12 mocks ( first time round ) I got ADD. The main reason being I didn't have the time to balance everything. I think schools could do with loosening up on homework. It's not supposed to take hours, it's meant to be a quick recap/practice of the lesson. That message has been lost
Along the way with so many teachers choosing to pile it on under the guise of 'helping'. Just the opinion of an overworked, overstressed teen who devoted all their life to school and gave up their childhood by mistake, being told it was the right thing to do and the only way to succeed in life

So many terrible experiences in the comments. My kids attend public elementary and have such a diverse week filled with people WAY more skilled in how to educate kids and mold them. I love conference time when they have advice and I can be a better support at home! They have years of experiences with seven year olds, this is my first and only chance! It isn't babysitting to me, its quality adults who help my kids grow and show me how to be an asset to them
holy sh-! yes! im actually in school right now,and i dont see how its possible that i will use any of that in my life,except for money.
i use bp in school to entertain myself cuz its the only social media that works on school wifi looool

And after that, they are loaded with two hours of homework when they get home so they can't go outside and have fun and just be kids for an hour, and then after that, the parents are blamed for not giving their kids enough outside time.
I did that. It was boring, I got through it, i came out the other side and all it taught me was, ways to relieve boredom. I barely remember what I was being taught in school because none of it was transferable to living outside school/college hours.
Can this be upvoted even more please!!!!! Public school is a babysitting service so parents can work! My hubby and I pulled our kids two years ago from school and now home school them. They do school work for about 5-6 hours a day and that's it. And both are taking high school honor classes and making A's! I could say so much more than this but truly our kids are suffering from a broken education system!
School is basically the same for last ~100 years. Sure, there are only 20 kids in class instead of 30, but otherwise it is the same. How much everything else changed in last 100 years?
I actually liked school!! And it certainly beat working in a factory!
I believe we have school like this because kids don't work like they used to which is a good thing.
Children need to move and be actively involved in learning. This is 100% a financial issue, as it is much cheaper to warehouse children with one overworked teacher than to provide actual education.
Hardest thing I've ever done was 12 years of school...... everyday not being able to stay focused and hating sitting down...... Not my thing
I think for many kids it is the best thing that could have happened to them. Most of the kids are already anyway too much on the phone and have too much screen time because parents are lazy to spend time with them. People complain about teachers at school but at home they wouldn't be able to teach them half of it. People complain about food at school but at home they give their kids junk food. School system definitely has to be reformed but it's still better than what people think.
Teachers could make learning so much more hands on, active and fun. But the school boards would rather kids just sit and listen.
I just wish classrooms were smaller and better funded. There's a lot of amazing teachers out there that are hemmed in by the restrictions.
When does school start and end for y'all? Mine starts at 7:30 and ends at 2:30. Doesn't sound bad right? Well. I get to school at 7:10. I ride the bus and the bus comes at 6:30. And I have to wake up at 5:30 every day. Then I don't get home on the bus until like 2:45. So really my school day is 5:30-2:45. But at least we get off early.
Mine is 8:30-3:00 (catholic school in australia). Waking up 7am, getting home 4pm, so really my day is 9 hours.

Allegedly, to teach people to learn how to think, be a ' productive member ' of society..
*13-14 hours. I remember that when I was four I went to a full time pre k and kindergarten is mandatory here in the US. And I don't know about other places but I was actually learning in both of those, not just making messes.
Letting children have unlimited access to the internet and using the internet as a babysitter.
Before the internet, they had TV. Before that, they had magazines. Before magazines, they had radio. As a parent, I can assure you that it is impossible to give kids your undivided attention. If we spent all day with them, the house would be a mess, there would be no food on the table, no clean clothes, and no bills paid. Being a parent is more than playtime.
Botox and lip injections.
A lot of people have Botox for medical reasons - like migraines, TMJ, muscle spasms, excessive sweating etc
The amount of our lives we share with strangers online thinking we’re anonymous
Anyone on here could be tracked down, so you’d better be nice or someone might find your house… (not me, I don’t have the skills lol)
wouldn’t say today, but some people still normalise hitting your kids pretty hard, maybe it’s just cause i was hit pretty hard as a kid, but i’ll never do that.
I agree. "Spanked" my daughter twice in her life. One swift swat on the behind, pants on. Both times she was doing something dangerous and I just reacted. Being hit all the time when I was a kid did not make me a better person, it just made me afraid.
Eating meat at every meal.
I eat meat, but at every meal? It's not necessary nor healthy. There's many things you can eat, meat is just one of them.
All those weird trending diets.
I don’t understand why people like my parents think that meat eaters are equivalent to serial killers. I just had an argument with my mom where she said I’m “cold blooded and have no consideration for the animals”. Humans are made to eat meat and plants. It’s either up to you or your body to decide if you want to be a vegetarian, vegan or non-vegetarian
K cups. The inventor of K cups already laments what his invention has wrought. He's talked about how they're not recyclable, expensive, and not good quality coffee.
We are a spoiled society. No one needs to have a single serving waste of plastic to have a good cup of coffee..and the cost!! I yi yi. It is good coffee but the cost to the wallet and environment is a huge nope for me. (Please dont downvote me K-cup drinkers!.😊)
"Low fat" products which predominantly were filled with high fructose corn syrup (high sugar diets) and other things that lead to metabolic syndrome (partially hydrogenated oils). Some have recognized the dangers in this already but in 40 years maybe we'll see people look back and go "they made all of this money at the expense of ordinary citizens health".
The way we look at having kids.
You have a dogs**t job, your spouse works as well so nobody will ever be home, when you are home you'll both be tired and miserable from work, you and/or your spouse *clearly* have childhood issues to work out in therapy, you/your spouse or *both* have a genetic condition of some kind be it mental or physical, the food in the house is all pre-made/freeze-dried/frozen/junk, you live in an apartment/too small of a house, you're a slave to massive debt for a useless degree/a car/etc, etc, etc...
Go ahead and have kids, it'll be great and thier lives will be absolutely fine!
It seems you either went through a difficult childhood or are struggling as a parent (or both), so I'm sorry you had to go through that. However, it's not the same case for everyone. I have two kids, and although they tire me out and cost a fortune, they bring me unbridled joy. I love them more than I thought possible. So, for me, it's absolutely worth it.
Juice cleanses. They are unhealthy and dangerous.
juices are so high in sugar, they can't be healthy. and we don't need cleanses, that's what we have a liver and kidneys for.
Constant notifications and other distractions.
Setting up my new phone, turned all the various notifications off....then later got a notification that I had notifications turned off.
Advertisement for gambling (most forms of gambling and most forms of advertisement). We already know they're unhealthy when people affected by it becomes gambling addicts, but people still think gambling addicts is not a big enough problem and that the current level is just a healthy amount of entertainment. But I think the current level is already too much.
Researchers are finding a strong correlation between people who use microtransactions (like loot chests) in video games at a young age and people who develop gambling addictions. They're still not sure if early exposure to microtransactions leads to gambling addiction or if there is an underlying predisposition to buying loot chests that will also lead to gambling addictions.
orthorexia
ipakookapi replied:
For those who don't know that word, it's basically pathological fitness. Training more and eating more specific than your body and mind wants or needs.
As someone who was diagnosed with this over a decade ago, and is still retraining her body to react normally to normal things, I really hope this doesn't stick around for other unfortunate souls.
Meat in general, but particularly processed, smoked and grilled meats. I think in 10-20 years most people in the US will be cutting meat consumption by double-digit percentages due to cost. Health studies show our need for protein is much better fulfilled with a combination of (1) smaller servings of meat than is now common and (2) non-meat protein sources. Meat will still be part of our diet, it's the preparation and quantity that people in the future will find incredible. Processed meats, smoked meats, and grilled meats have compounds on the surface shown to cause cancer.
Mind you, I find this depressing because I eat all these things. Too late for me though, you all save yourselves and I'll take the hit along with your bacon.
At present,the use of polythene is causing serious damage to our environment. therefore,the use of polythene needs to be reduced immediately.
We're in serious trouble about that. If it were up to me, I'd limit the number of plastic species allowed in food packaging, apply a mandatory colour code to it to make recycling actually possible, and demand an explanation why anything else is used, if some company actually wants to. Then, we hit the sheer minimum required to do this in any useful way, and not just pretend and execute pointless sorting habits as if we were addicted, knowing it won't make much of a difference, if any at all.
Using all these household cleaning products in bathrooms etc. inhaling all that c**p
Playing football as a kid as some 'healthy' growing up thing. As someone who suffered from three severe concussions before I was 20, let me tell you: head injuries are no joke. On a serious matter: I'm not yet 40 but my wife and I have already had an "end of life" talk about what to do with me when my memory, which is already deteriorating, goes completely.
I know the keyword is most, but I couldn’t let an opportunity like this pass, & there might be a lot of people who think this is safe.
TLDR: Round-Up Weed Killer
I recently had a talk with a company rep from a local insect control company, who swore that Round-Up Weed Killer was safe.
He told me it was safe around kids, said he would be okay ingesting it, and that he had “spoken to the scientists” who made Round-Up, and it was hands down the safest product on the market for weed killers.
I guess I should’ve said, “What about over one hundred thousand people who are pretty sure it gave them cancer?”
I went, “didn’t the people who own Round-Up agree to billions of dollars in settlement payouts?”
He said, oh, that’s just people trying to get money from them. I wouldn’t recommend a product that’s unsafe.
still better than copper oxide or spirulina extract whose are considered suitable for organic farming. Also since weed killer round-ups are used worldwide, the high cancer rates should have been a worldwide pandemic. But they were mostly registered on specific plantations especially in middle and south america that used a lot of other very high potent pestizides, herbizides and fertilizers in combination.
People avoiding carbs, especially when trying to lose weight.
Yea some carbs should be in moderation but overall carbs are a vital part of a diet and a must for a healthy body and lifestyle, and should be your largest food group whether you are trying to lose weight or not.
The problem is processed food rather than carbs. Processed food is high rubbish carbs. Eat real food of different colours and carbs are okay. Donuts & processed sandwiches aren't
Caffeine and alcohol being so encouraged by society
Hey watch it now, I drink coffee so people around me may live longer....
Too many people are convinced exotic fruits from very specific locations of the world that require obscenely specific conditions for growth are great for breakfast.

Building far out suburban single family detached housing developments all at once and then saddling the city with the maintenance liability when the infrastructure eventually needs to be replaced all at the same time using insufficient funds raised from the too-low tax base of non-intensive zoning, then papering over the debt by building another similar development to garner another temporary infusion of state and federal funds in order to create an illusion of financial solvency while further increasing reliance on growth to prevent city finances from collapsing.

I'm so glad I don't have to go to the laundromat any more because that was a guaranteed 3 day migraine every time.

I've lost count of how many people have told me that a chiropractor can cure my migraines. Oh really? Even the ones caused by things I can't control like the weather? A little adjustment is going to completely wipe out a neurological disorder?
About half of these are really strange to me. They never have been/never will be considered healthy. NO ONE has ever said soda or energy drinks is healthy. NO ONE thinks that children's whole lives being online is healthy, NO ONE thinks the electronic babysitter is healthy. NO ONE has said K cups are healthy. NO ONE has said avoiding nature is healthy. These are things people do regardless of them being known as unhealthy. (I know I'm generalizing, replace NO ONE with NO VAST MAJORITY)

I’d say consuming any amount of alcohol. Research is showing that a glass of wine a day is actually not that beneficial. Alcohol is a carcinogen in the same category as nicotine. It just has much better PR. I think some not-so-great stuff is also coming out on cannabis. Unfortunately, any mood altering drug just isn’t good for us. Go figure.

I've lost count of how many people have told me that a chiropractor can cure my migraines. Oh really? Even the ones caused by things I can't control like the weather? A little adjustment is going to completely wipe out a neurological disorder?
About half of these are really strange to me. They never have been/never will be considered healthy. NO ONE has ever said soda or energy drinks is healthy. NO ONE thinks that children's whole lives being online is healthy, NO ONE thinks the electronic babysitter is healthy. NO ONE has said K cups are healthy. NO ONE has said avoiding nature is healthy. These are things people do regardless of them being known as unhealthy. (I know I'm generalizing, replace NO ONE with NO VAST MAJORITY)
'Things people think are healthy but really aren't' and the list has things like Tik-tok videos and posting everything about your children online. Title should change to 'thing people do and probably shouldn't'
I’d say consuming any amount of alcohol. Research is showing that a glass of wine a day is actually not that beneficial. Alcohol is a carcinogen in the same category as nicotine. It just has much better PR. I think some not-so-great stuff is also coming out on cannabis. Unfortunately, any mood altering drug just isn’t good for us. Go figure.
MMJ has changed my life in regards to migraine relief. My other options are prescriptions with terrible side effects or hoping I get knocked into a coma to escape the suffering.

Stay away from my beer, BBQ, and lottery tickets. Tomorrow I'm starting a juice cleanse I call colonoscopy prep.
Willingly letting government take 2 years of our lives and God given right to live life, and doing nothing about it
Do you have proof that they don't?? How many lives were saved from using PPE?? We lost WAY TOO MANY to this horrific pandemic!! Who knows what that number may be if PPE wasn't used?? I'm going to think that "maybe" you don't believe in the vaccines, as well? If I am wrong about this assumption, I apologize. However, your statement is not based on ANY science-proven facts. Unless you were on the medical front-lines, trying to save patients, such as myself and thousands of others, you have NO RIGHT to make such an ignorant statement. I may be downvoted and banned for this comment, but I will take my chances to silence outrageous comments, such as yours!!
