“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.

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.

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.

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
Which chiropractic manipulation can put a herniated disc back in? Modern medicine would be amazed to see that. I have five, and "adjustments" made them worse. The only treatment one chiropractor did of any help was traction. And you can get that from a Physical therapist and have insurance pay for it. Plus many chiropractors want to sell you a ton of useless supplements.

The first time I ever went to a chiropractor for severe upper back pain (couldn't raise my arms over my head bad) he did an x-ray first thing. A section of my spine was stuck sideways. The only things the doctors did was give me muscle relaxants. Chiropractor popped that vertebrae back in place and it was such a relief! You just have to find the right one for you.
And then follow up with physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the bones to help keep them in place!

Prof Edzard Ernst - UK emeritus prof of complimentary medicine, now retired, wrote a paper comparing the efficacy of physio v osteopathey v chiropraxis. Physio came out on top, and was 10% enhanced if used in conjunction with acupuncture (result was fewer days off work) osteopathy was 'neutral (same no of days off but psychologically you felt better as you were helping yourself) Chiropraxis was found to lengthen the absence and 'could lead to serious life altering injury'. So yeah, science backs you up there.
Once again the voice of reason and scientific research gets downvoted below anecdotal "evidence".

I don't really agree, like yes chiropractors should be held to a high standard just like doctors, but going to a chiropractor has helped me so much in my life. I'm a cheerleader so I get back muscle pains and knots a lot, I also have an over flexible spine which my chiropractor helps me monitor and have had multiple spine/joint injuries that my chiropractor has either helped fix or helped recommend me to a physiotherapist who helpsd
My dad has severe back pain and after steroid shots, surgery, and doctors throwing meds at him the things that actually made the pain bearable were chiropractic adjustments and marijuana creams. There are definitely chiropractors who are anti-vax and don't believe in masks, who will peddle things that are expensive and not useful but let's not pretend like there aren't medical doctors who prescribe meds that interact negatively or have major side effects or that medical gaslighting and harm isn't a thing. My dad' was prescribed gabapentin for his pain initially and while taking it he had frequent falls because it created balance issues. His doctor told us that wasn't a thing and to stay on it. Finally had to take himself off it and his balance issues "magically" disappeared.
This! If a chiropractor is anti-vax, then you have talked to a shitty chiropractor. My chiropractor would never make such claims. Meanwhile just this year I left the practice of my my board-certified Neurologist who tried to convince me that Covid was a hoax and I never really had it. 🙄

You say that like no one is ever injured by conventional medical treatment. I chose my chiropractor because she does not do a certain adjustment that can be dangerous. Granted, not everyone seems to respond to chiropractic adjustments but I do and it's not in my mind.
In reality, just about any adjustment could be dangerous. Google injuries related to chiropractic adjustments. I'm not belittling chiropractors and I also know that medical doctors can make horrific mistakes as well!!

Homopathetic medication is the same kind, usually not dangerous in itself, but by preventing people from seeking actual treatment that's based on evidence and knowledge, but is systematically degraded by those quacks and snakeoil salesmen, often to a point in which seriously sick people, having, say, cancer or so, refuse any actual treatment, but prefer insanely diluted horse turd or something, and then, miraculously, suffer from cancer not being inhibited the least by abovementioned c**p. All this stuff, should end due to people having a basic education - not meaning everyone shall be an actual MD, but just reason and logic guiding a well-informed choice of a patient who is not brainwashed into applying magic tricks to serious disease and expecting to be healed ... that expected too much? Then, the quacks' abilities in deceiving and seducing people are to be exceeded by real doctors. Hell, whatever makes people not chose magic and death over science and life, is exactly what the current situation calls for.
Completely disagree. The right certified professional chiropractor can severely help your quality of life.
Chiropractic doctors are not gods. They're like every other doctor. If you go, get a good one. I was diagnosed with scoliosis in 7th grade. Luckily my mother refused to take me to a surgeon and took me to a Chiropractor. It took several years, but he took my S-curve and got it to a near perfect back.
After lots and lots of drugs and painkillers from a doctor, a chiropractor fixed an out of place rib last year. No one should be fooled into thinking its miraculous but it works for some.
Yep. My 15 year old was having "breathing issues" couldn't take a deep breath. the Primary sent her for an xray and gave her an inhaler. When nothing showed on the XRay they wanted her to go to the pulmonologist. Our trusted chiro adjusted her. She's fine.
Load More Replies... What really frightens me is when a chiropractor "claims" that with adjustments, you don't need vaccines or other medical treatments outside of their realm. What's more frightening is that a lot of people buy into these lies!
There is a chiropractor business here that does children and infants. Ridiculous scam right!?

Back in the day I spent almost two weeks in the hospital for low back pain. When I was released I was pretty drugged up but my pain was still there. My sister talked me into seeing a chiropractor. The guy was real old, he had me lie on a metal table. He then proceeded to wrench me about. I walked out $10 bucks poorer but feeling like a million bucks.
Not all chiropractors are created equal. Let the buyer be ware, but many people can benefit from chiropractic care.
B******t. You have no idea. I don't go to the kind who cracks, I go to the kind who uses activators. It works wonders and helps me handle chronic pain from my discs and arthritis. Otherwise, I'd be on pain meds all the time.
Chiropractics at least in my country should have studied at least 3 years of medical school before being ellegibles to study Chiropractic. And here the chiropractic ask you for x ray or other studies before doing some manipulation on your body.
I've never used a Chiropractor, but I have several friends that do, because that is what WORKS....don't belittle something you know absolutely nothing about---if it works, and does so consistently, it's probably a good thing, no?
I have neck problems. A chiropractor once suggested a violent neck crack. He actually said it might do more harm than good but still expected me to do it!
So are you against chiropractic or not? Your comment has made me curious.

I think it depends on the situation - going to a good Chiropractor (just like going to a good doctor or therapist) can be beneficial, especially if you have an injury. However, they (and any doctor) should always try to find the root of your pain before adjusting anything before they cause further injury. I'm an occupational therapist who specialized in treating patients with spinal cord injuries for quite a while, and I saw patients who were injured because their chiropractors weren't thorough enough before treating them and did some major damage.
Absolutely untrue. Paralyzation is incredibly rare in chiropractic. Generally happens when the doctor is inexperienced or doesn’t take X-rays. Any reputable chiropractic will take X-rays before ever adjusting a patient. Negligible benefits? I’ve seen people go from bent at a 90• angle at the waist hardly to walk - then after a few weeks of chiropractic adjustments and therapies, they’re back to normal. Inform yourself. You are incorrect and spreading false and exaggerated information.
I think it should be banned, Go to a decent physiotherapist IF you need treatment
as a hardcore supporter of science, i have to say that i have known many people who received no meaningful or long-term relief for back injuries from physical therapy, narcotics, and even surgery, but then went on to get meaningful and often long-term relief from chiropracty...so, as much as i want to believe that chiropracty is hokum...i know two many people who it totally worked on...i mean they went from being in visible physical pain and lack of mobility back to normalcy
Unless for some reason chiro is covered by insurance and physio is not, physio is 100% a better choice because every physio I have ever gone to has done what a chiro can do and then some. They give you exercises, massages, and all kinds of nice things that chiros do not. I have been to both and much, much prefer physio.
Well this is ignorant af. Who is greenlighting these topics? Chiropractors are amazing and the techniques they are developing for adjustments without being aggressive are incredible. Stupid comments like this are so disappointing
I had a chiropractor tell me he was able to "cure" my epilepsy. I just had a strange feeling when I walked into the office and check in for my appointment.
sometimes that happens. Just like you feel sore after a massage. The effect of adjustments are cumulative and can take a few days or a few adjustments to stay. If your muscles are in acute contraction, they will stay that way and pull the spine back out of alignment.

My mom used to bring to a chiropractor to realign my entire right side of my body. I hated it. After every session I was in more discomfort than the last. I refused to go anymore and started feeling better after I stopped going. My right side is still off kilter from what my mom says. Oh well. One side will always be different than the other side.
Disagree. A well trained chiopractor will send you to an ortho if there is a problem. There are so many "catches " in my neck that cause so much pain and the chiropractors adjustment will stop the pain. These practitioners study the spine for years. Only people acting like chiropractors on social media hurt others.
I am a little biased because I’ve seen a couple of shady chiropractors. They gave me a free evaluation and then suddenly found tons of stuff wrong with me that had never seemed to be an issue, but they could fix over time for hundreds of dollars a week. Then I went to see an orthopedic surgeon who was very baffled at with what the chiropractor had told me.
if done for the wrong reasons and by the wrong ppl yes then it is harmful... but when done because you legitimately need to have your bones properly re-aligned so you can avoid pain from pinched nerves and such, then it's absolutely life-saving... (surprisingly there are a heck of a lot non-licensed ppl around who think they can do anything...)
There is ZERO scientific evidence that chiropractic adjustments treat any conditions. They are medically about the same benefit of getting a massage, but with greater danger. Add to that most chiropractors sell supplements and try to convince people they can cure everything. It's disgraceful that insurance covers these quacks.
It has worked for me. I trust my chiropractor more than my primary doctor. He always get to the root of the problem. When you have chronic pain and get relief from a trusted practitioner it's a heck of a lot better than being on pharmaceuticals your entire life. I guess you could say that yoga, massage, acupuncture don't have any "medical benefit" but, if you are the patient and you get relief from pain, that's proof for me.

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”
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

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.

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.

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.

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!!
