Why YSK: many countries have issues with weight, such as mine with 74% of US adults being overweight or obese. The global weight loss industry is over $200 billion yearly, with many influencers, pills, and surgeries promising quick results with little effort. These often come with side effects, or don’t work long term.

Studies suggest filling yourself with foods low in caloric density and high in fiber, like fruits and vegetables, can help reach and maintain a healthy weight. It’s good to have these foods available in our living spaces to make the choice easy. Your taste buds will likely adapt to love them if you’re not there yet.

    Not really. Especially when talking about physical pain.

    You should not be in discomfort all the time. This is the kind of thinking that prevents people from going to the doctor. Pain isn’t normal.

      Part of it is identifying differences between discomforts. Feel a little hungry? No big deal.

      Feel sharp stabbing pains? See a doctor, dummy.

      Pain isn’t normal.

      I get the point of your post but also, pain is normal. And not every pain requires medical intervention.
