Seriously. There is SO MUCH misinformation out there. Take a look at this ad.
This Walmart ad includes a section titled “Wellness Boost”. I seriously can not tell you how much this aggravates me!!!! All 3 of the “food” products are incredibly bad for you. They contain artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners and are all highly processed. There is nothing healthy about them. I even had to laugh at the SlimFast KETO bar with the label “fat bomb”. Now I know Keto diets are supposed to have a very high percent of fat (like 80%), but the science shows they are not healthy in the long term. In fact, keto dieters lose significantly less body fat than non-keto dieters leaving them with increased risk of heart issues and several other chronic diseases. So in just looking at these 3 food items, all of them should actually be called “wellness diminish”.
Next let’s just take a quick peek at the bottom half of this ad. Sadly, it’s indicative of how our culture is collectively shifting its mindset from true wellness to “feeling better”. Healthy is no longer the normal. Most people are overweight, feel tired all the time and are managing one or more chronic disease. So instead of working towards actual wellness, most people just take a pill or slap some pain relief gel on it. THIS IS ABSURD!!!!! The bandaids in the picture are actually very appropriate to my point. Instead of solving the root problem, the culture tells us to slap a bandaid on it (prescription drugs, OTC meds, quick fix “diet” aids, or just soothe it all with food and alcohol). Again, THIS IS ABSURD!!!!
Please don’t accept this type of “wellness”. This is not OK. We are all meant to do amazing things and none of us can shine in this world if we are fat, sick or tired. Make TRUE healthy choices so you can be active and influential for many more years!
