    Joy seems to play a lot into healthy living and that’s something I’ve
    always thought to be true. If you are truly happy, you probably have lots
    of sources of joy so you “could” be healthier mentally and this should help
    you be healthier physically.

    The only thing I know is that Jack Lalanne live a long healthy life till 96
    years old.

    Clearly the more we know about health and nutrition, the more scared are
    industries and politicians trying to attach us to unhealthy lifestyles.

    Or just like this idiot who only wants to sell us a book telling peoplo
    what they want to hear :/

    I totally understand what he went through. I was cutting myself off from my
    family and friends. I avoided ocial gatherings/dinners as much as I could
    because the food was not “healthy” enough for me. But I was so alone and
    miserable… I only had salad for company most of the time.

    I’m much happier now. I meet up with my friends and family whenever I can,
    and I indulge myself once in awhile. The thing is.. my weight has been
    stable all this while.

    this sounds a lot more like a person who suffered with a form of extreme
    OCD, healthy living is incredibly different from trying to control & keep
    every single aspect of your life healthy and perfect!! a very bad example
    of healthy living 🙁

    Talking about NOISE POLLUTION, can ALL TED talks on youtube drop the
    ANNOYING intro sound that goes ALL the way up and down?! I have to turn
    down my volume but couldn’t hear what the speaker was talking so I turned
    it up… Guess What!? They have the same Annoying Intro Music at the end!

    Downarrow me all you want, but I knew before I even wiki’d this guy that he
    grew up in a progressive northeast family, went to fancy private schools,
    and had some sort of useless liberal arts degree.
    There is a difference between intelligence and being pushed through the
    educational system at high levels. This speech demonstrates that point
    perfectly.

    Basically everything he did is the opposite of what healthy people would
    do–sunscreen, bacterial wipes? Ugh.

    writer one day.

    If you attempt to listen to all the “experts”, you will become unhealthy,
    will be more likely to hurt yourself, and probably go insane. If you have
    two “experts” who are both recognized as experts on the same topic, what
    happens when one says to do something that is conflicting to what the other
    says?

    Over “healty”-ing can be a terrible idea if you dont like to get sick.. You
    need jerms to train your immune system’s ninja warriors.. Else they will
    only be trained in fighing dunnies, but when a big dinosaur jerm comes,
    they have no idea what to do, so the jerm wins..
    Kinda went totally symbolic there, but you get the point..

    Also eat meat, dont be afraid of meat, just dont OVER EAT, and dont
    supersize your meals..
    Someone in Tedx once said, eat until you are 20% full, then stop because
    the last 20% comes after a few seconds that it takes your brain to recieve
    the “im full” command..
