Don't we realize that setting this as our goal is the fastest way to make ourselves sick?
Today's society bombards us with messages that make us feel sick. Everything in our environment pressures us to take steps to be healthier, from smart watches to ads for health products - some of them not so healthful - and even Google's search engine, where we look up every symptom at the risk of making everything worse. Sickness sells, and we're willing to pay the price for the cure, even if the price is not feeling healthy. Could this be true? Don't doubt it. It's the perfect trap: a society that idealizes health while doing its best to make you feel sick. Now that you know, it's time to do something about it! Dr. Fernando Fabiani speaks out against this societal obsession with perfect health, encouraging us to analyze what is true and what is pure marketing in the messages and recommendations we hear day after day urging us to make changes purported to make us healthier. Are you ready to rebel? Your health is riding on it.
