I agree, at least in spirit.
I exercise 2 hours per day, 5 times a week, and eat healthy food: vegetables, protein, no snacks, low sugar, low salt, no ketchup, no mustard, no mayonnaise, no oil for cooking, basically anything doctors recommend, I do it, and I have been doing it for the last 5 years or so.
Does it help? Probably.
Do I still feel constant dread? Yes, every single day, but I learned to live with that feeling and focus on the happiness between work hours.
- DWu39 4y agoYou can try breaking those habits for a few months and see how you feel haha. Health is something we easily take for granted when we have it. I also recommend some form of mindfulness, whether it's being fully present during a workout, or just sitting in the sun for 10 minutes in the morning. The feeling of burnout/constant dread is a tiredness of the spirit. Physical nourishment and exercise can only provide so much. You gotta feed the soul too.
- zachrip 4y agoYou don't have to be militant about health/exercise to get real world positive effects out of it though. Many people talk about how much better they feel after a 30 min run in the morning shrug
- EddySchauHai 4y agoYeah the goal is to enjoy life and being healthy makes that possible for longer. I try to eat healthy but no one is keeping me away from my occasional cheesy pasta or burger. No one.
- skeeter2020 4y ago>> Many people talk about how much better they feel after a 30 min run You don't even need to run. Starting your day with a 15min walk has huge benefits. Maybe someday most people can actually enjoy their physical activities but start by forcing yourself to do something, similar to flossing your teeth, will form the habit and give you a taste of the positive benefits.
- getcrunk 4y agoPlease add animal fats or olive oil to your diet. The modern processed oils are bad. Animal based fats or olive, coconut and other traditional oils are better. Avoid palm, corn, vegetable oil. Also salt is healthy. Check out the channel what I've learned on youtube.
- rtev 4y agoAll oils and added fats are bad for people with heart problems or those at risk of them.
- EddySchauHai 4y agoYeah I don’t know about OPs health obviously, but he’s describing a lot of the DASH diet which is known to help those with hypertension.
- ipaddr 4y agoThe right types of oils will reduce heart issues. Eating a carb heavy oil free / fat free life will kill you.
- getcrunk 4y agoThis guy gets it. It's crazy how corporate interests so thoroughly warped the common man's and even medical professionals understanding.
- rtev 4y agoMy father had a heart attack at 43. In response, he dropped red meat and dairy and had to have stents put in 2 years later as his condition deteriorated. He stopped eating any foods with added oils, as well as anything fatty like nuts and avocados. He eats absolutely zero oil, just basic grains with vegetables and fruits. Ten years later and his doctor says, aside from the stents, he shows no signs of heart disease at all. Anecdotal improvement aside, your statement about high carbs/low oil being unsustainable is false.

- rtev 4y agoWhy no mustard? Everything else you mentioned is stuff I know, but I eat quite a bit of Dijon.
- vinni2 4y ago2 hours a day spent exercising? It must be something you really love. I bike to work and back everyday no matter what that’s 40 minutes exercise for me. I also go to gym couple of times a week that’s already hard to fit in my schedule
