Youve identified the chain but keep it going: stress and lack of sleep!
Ubiquitous coffee, economic pressure, overpriced and weak preventative healthcare system, social pressure, status anxiety, housing insecurity, political threats, public-facing crimes, rampant racism. These all test our self-control around food.
- fleddr 5y agoNone of those things help, yet none of those things prevent healthy living. For the simple reason that healthy living does not cost a lot of time or money. Like I said, home cook 5-6 days per week, which costs little time or money. None of the issues you mention prevent you from doing it. Exercise costs no money at all. I don't mean to dismiss your reasons as if they don't matter at all, I'm stating they are a trap. They provide a shield to hide behind. If only all of that would improve, I'd be healthier. This imaginary utopian society will not make you healthier. You become healthier by stop eating crap. Nobody's going to do that for you, but you.
- chillingeffect 5y agoI agree abt the importance of home cooking, bit if you have a chance, look into how stress affects digestion. The same food can affect the body differently based on its stress state.
- AmericanChopper 5y agoThere is no digestive condition that causes the body to metabolise more calories than you consume.
