“What’s Something Most People Think Is Healthy Today That Future People Will Shake Their Heads At?” (45 Answers)

I feel like we are living in bizzaro world where medicine and clinical science is considered hogwash. Are mistakes made and has money clouded decisions? Of course. But the foundation is there. If nothing else trust in that.

In an ideal world, sure... but when your work pays 💩, you have only so much hours left in a day and the extra money always comes in handy

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 is no need for billionaires, everything earned over the first billion should be taken as tax and fed into society.

Reminds me of that interview with Gwyneth Paltrow where she said the she starts her day "with a glass of alkaline water with a splash of lemon", which would neutralise any alkaline properties while still in the glass...

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.

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.

I feel sorry for those kids; no privacy at all.

Hopefully, the 40-hour week will end. But we'll always be stuck with unfulfilling jobs.

Quite a few people who never smoked a day in their life starting vaping just because it was the new "cool" thing

I’m a kid who loves to be on her phone, but I try to be outside for atleast 1-4 hours a day

Except under rare circumstances, circumcision is unnecessary. If you want one as an adult then so be it. But do not inflict your choice onto your children.

Teflon for cooking, PET for drinks. Even better, refill PET repeatedly and let it out in the sun. For a nice cup of chemicals and microplastic particles.

TikTok is just a regurgitated Vine. It'll eventually disappear unless it adapts and starts doing longer videos and becomes a competitor for YouTube.

I don't think myself or anyone I know have ever considered energy drinks healthy.

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.

This! How on Earth do you need a brand new phone every year?

couldn't agree more!!!

seriously why does literal bread need sugar? IT’S BREAD. plus, even things you would expect to be sugary are wayyy too sugary. edit: i have been informed that sugar helps the yeast rise which is interesting but not THAT much sugar

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.

In Australia it's 9am to 3pm, I was surprised to find out it is earlier in the U.S

Literally no one things soda is healthy.

You could have wheat intollerance, but in most cases it's just a fad.

Nope. Chiropractic care has made living life with three herniated discs bearable. Traditional doctors only gave me opiates, which didn’t help

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.

Until you have some pains that can’t be fixed by medicines, you’d say differently. They fixed my hip pain in two visits. My docs literally told me to deal with 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.

Completely disagree. The right certified professional chiropractor can severely help your quality of life.

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.

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!

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.

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 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!

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.

Yeah, you're wrong on this one.

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.

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.

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.

nope for me re: chiropractors

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.

I could use a good spine cracking!!!
