As much as possible, I believe we should all try to do everything in moderation. Never be too extreme in medicine, exercise, drinking, drugs, food, etc. Sometimes in life you can't avoid the situation, unfortunately.
- carlmr 9y agoA friend of mine had some good wisdom from her mom. If you have to take medication, take different ones, not always the same ones. If you eat premade food, buy different kinds, not always the same ones. It's basically portfolio risk diversification. You increase the risk of having some negative effects, by virtue of trying more things, but you hugely decrease the risk of taking one thing excessively that does you a lot of harm in the future.
- xaedes 9y agoAlso known to some as the "Middle Way": [1] In the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism, the term "Middle Way" was used in the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, which the Buddhist tradition regards to be the first teaching that the Buddha delivered after his awakening. In this sutta, the Buddha describes the Noble Eightfold Path as the middle way of moderation, between the extremes of sensual indulgence and self-mortification [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Way
