Bored Panda contacted Soren-J, the person who started this discussion in the first place, who kindly agreed to share the inspiration behind it.

They told us they saw another thread where the opposite was asked. However, as interesting as the topic was, they were more curious to know what healthy things were labeled as harmful.

When asked what makes people believe something is bad for them when it actually isn't, they told us that it all comes down to each person. "Things that seem healthy or unhealthy to us will initially be seen from a subjective point of view based on what we already know and believe about the world.

Access to information is not the same for everyone, and neither is its processing. We all grew up in different contexts and have different ways of seeing the world. This means that two people can think differently about the same thing, with one seeing it as healthy and the other as unhealthy."

“What Is Actually Healthy But People Think It Is Not?” (30 Answers) Frozen fruits and vegetables. The modern flash-freeze technique preserves almost all of the nutrients and they are always picked when they are in season, so they are as nutritious as their fresh in-season counterparts, and more nutritious if it is not the season.

Their advice on navigating misleading health information is to go to a professional when a person has any serious questions. "If you feel saturated with information, there is nothing like a doctor to clear up doubts, and although each doctor has their own opinions and approaches, at the end of the day, they look after the patient's well-being and will give their answer based on that.

But since we cannot take a doctor as a private consultant for any question of the day, we must look for reliable sources of information.

Using Google Scholar is a good option because it will take you to at least two official publications from scientific media, magazine articles, theses, and publications from universities that have been published on their websites."

They concluded by saying, "To be able to navigate contradictory information... you have to do a very honest job of research, not take anything for granted, and have a healthy minimum of disbelief in the face of new information, to question and verify it."

Smugly inserting your own religion's rules and mores into the laws of a nation which is supposed to have strict separation of church and state but doesn't anymore because of a packed and clearly partisan SCOTUS is the quickest way to arouse animosity towards your faith and its members. We don't do it out of boredom, we do it out of the sheer frustration that you think you have the right to impose your religious beliefs on everyone else. All Christians are not christo-fascists, but those sphincters among you who do fit the description are going to inspire hatred and violence which all members of the faith will suffer from. Put your religion back into its box with the steeple on top and keep it out of legislation you would impose on others. We neither need or want your brand of misogyny and bigotry which has already caused an incredible amount of harm. Is it any wonder that when you go to war against society, society tends to go to war right back at you? Bring on the downvotes.

Religion can definitely be a problem, and I say so as a Catholic. Spirituality, faith, on the other hand can be good things as long as they remain private and quiet. BTW even as a believer, I don't get why we should follow X rule whereas the same God told my neighbors to follow others. How come? Aren't those "rules" just man-made stuff God doesn't care about? Just be good to other as it's it's a win-win situation: if there is God, you're saved. If there's none, you've lost nothing and lived making this world better. This is Blaise Pascal's challenge and my way of life. :-)

Blaise Pascal's challenge is nothing more than opportunism. Not even disguised the slightest. As, sure, religion doesn't need to cause damage, to do any good, all of the known ones are, practically, emptied and refilled with secular humanist values, that are then credited to some god, or members of his nuclear family. Religion can't be more than spiritainment, tbh, as everything exceeding this either just repeats a rule or norm that, by secular means, is accepted and practiced anyway (and often exceeds the religious version in clarity, sense, logic and such stuff), or it's somewhat opposing exactly such a rule. Like that invasive issuery people chose to take about other peoples' uterusses. Put short: If it justifies things that aren't otherwise, if it prohibites things that aren't otherwise, it's out of its limits.

scotty 8 months ago

It would seem that there is not an over all decrease in the absolute number of people who ascribe to an organized religion. It is the percentage that decreases within an increasing population. Actively religious people are more likely than their less-religious peers to describe themselves as “very happy” according to surveys. The same surveys indicate that actively religious people are more likely to engage with others in non-religious activities and are less likely to smoke or drink than their less/non-religious peers.

Answering the prompt with "religion" doesn't mean that practicing religion switched into the place of not practicing religion this rendering it unhealthy and obsolete, but rather it is saying that not practicing/believing in a religion is not in itself *un*healthy.

Be kind to your neighbor, or something like that, is what christianity was supposed to be about. But, I've known christians who were not. My parents were catholic, and very prejudiced, against non-catholics, against Jews, against blacks, etc. And I was talking to someone who was "born again christian" and she told me that I would not get to heaven until I accepted jesus christ as my savior. I told her that I just try to be a good person, being nice, doing good deeds, but she still insisted I would burn in H E L L because I didn't accept jesus christ as my personal savior. I'm sorry, but I would rather be a decent person to EVERYONE. Not believing in her god is not gonna make me a bad person. I'm not gonna murder someone but then accept jesus, so I can go to heaven.

Actually, while it is no reason to adopt a religion you don't believe in, religion does increase lifespan, wellbeing and happiness. The exceptons? The Pew [corrected from Gallup] survey on wellbeing in Ecuador, South Africa, Belarus and Spain. Pretty much no-one was happy in Belarus or Spain. And while the survey included all the big Western and Pacific nations, it did not include any predominantly Muslim nations. Now, you might think that unhappiness causes people to disaffiiate from their religion, but even the formerly religious were much happier than the never religious, although still far less happy than the religious.

“What Is Actually Healthy But People Think It Is Not?” (30 Answers) One thing I've noticed as a nanny is that people don't think it's okay for their infant/toddler to chill in their crib alone after a nap. It's actually really healthy and good for them to chill alone in their cribs after they wake from a nap, especially if they aren't distressed about it! The parents will run to get them the moment they pop their eyes open, which eventually makes the kids start crying when they wake, because they expect someone to get them the moment their eyes open. These are also the babies that won't let you out of their sight for a moment.

But the ones who are able to chill alone for 10-20 minutes from the time they are really small, usually just roll around and babble to themselves for 10-20 minutes before they get upset. And the kids who can chill alone are usually really chill during wake times too, and don't freak out when you leave the room.

It's perfectly healthy for your kid to be by themselves even as babies.

Thank you! Also... Legit playpens are safe spaces for littles. New ones aren't built the same way - the one my mom used had sides that could be raised and lowered. She left us in them with one side down, and that was our designated play space that she could move around in case of showers, doing art projects in her studio, working in the kitchen, etc. It wasn't treated like a baby jail. We played and chilled there by ourselves a lot.

One example of this is fat. "Far too many people still believe that anything high in fat is automatically unhealthy. This could not be further from the truth. In reality, we all need fat as our body is literally made from fat (cell membranes, our brain, hormones, etc. are all made from fat!).

There are of course good and bad fats and some fats can become unhealthy if they are heated at high temperatures but at the end of the day, high-fat foods such as avocado, oily fish, nuts & seeds are good for us.

Another reason foods can be seen as unhealthy is if they are naturally high in sugar (such as the poor old banana). The issue here is that statements are often taken out of context! Whether something is healthy or unhealthy depends a lot on when you are eating it, how big a portion is, and whether you are combining it with other foods or not. "

“What Is Actually Healthy But People Think It Is Not?” (30 Answers) I keep hearing more and more people say that eating fruit is 'bad' because 'sugar'.

In order to help people be more cautious about conflicting information online and make the right decisions for their health, Boellinger emphasizes the difference between whole foods and highly processed foods, and how important it's to listen to your body and find reputable sources.

"For example, a banana may technically have the same amount of sugar as a chocolate bar but in reality, it is still healthier because it also contains fibre and vitamins and minerals.

Secondly, listen to your body. If you feel well, have great energy levels, good sleep, and balanced moods you are likely doing the right thing. Don’t let anyone tell you something is unhealthy just because it didn’t work for them.

Finally, find reputable sources! Follow the advice of registered nutritionists over that of a fitness influencer and don’t listen to anyone who is trying to also sell you products (such as weight loss shakes etc)."

Not to mention, the best, largest studies on the subject (those that follow tens or hundreds of thousands of people over decades) consistently show that people who follow plant-based diets have better health outcomes and longer lives.

Bring on the angry downvotes...

No downvote from me, however, there are numerous ways of healthy eating that are not solely plant based. I am a believer (unless for religious or allergy/anaphylaxis reasons) that a varied and in moderation eating plan is of benefit to overall health. Including exercise, and positive mental state. I have now set myself up for the downvotes.....

There is not necessarily anything wrong with the tap water itself, but with the pipes themselves. I just read how re-coated pipes release a chemical called bisphenol A into the water. It affects hormone function, reproduction and the immune system. Apparently it doesn't dissolve in cold water.

Salad dressing: the vitamins in leafy greens are oil-soluable, and if you don't include one you don't get the full benefit of your leafy greens.

Good olive oil and either red wine or balsamic vinegar makes a tasty salad. Ive avocado oil and grapeseed oil for a twist.

Any type of herbal "medicine" - like telling someone to drink tea instead of soda and they act like that's the stupidest s**t theyve ever heard in the world.

Lemons and honey wont cure cancer, but it sure as hell aint hurting your cold.

edit: many people are pointing out that the opposite take (absolutely no doctors or modern Healthcare) is just as bad and it *is*. Those types of people are evidently the source of the stigma around living healthier lifestyles.

I still get into arguments about eating fruit vs eating candy 🤦🏾‍♀️.

There are a lot of herbals that are helpful. And, even if it's just the placebo effect... Use it to your advantage!

Lactose has ended up in a similar basket. Many people have decided that because there are lactose intolerant people, lactose is bad and should be avoided. If you're lactose intolerant, true. If you're not, it's fine.

Your blood sugar “spiking” after eating certain foods. That’s exactly what’s supposed to happen. Unless you’re diabetic, you need to spend zero time worrying about your blood sugar. Just eat healthy foods and go easy on the junk food and sweets.

“What Is Actually Healthy But People Think It Is Not?” (30 Answers) Heartbreak! I think with the prevalence of dating apps, everyone seems to have become quite systematic about dating and compartmentalising things as fwb/situationships and any number of other labels. That's great and people should feel free to explore themselves this way and have different types of relationships, but you are a human being and shouldn't be surprised if things impact you emotionally sometimes. It's the risk you take, but it's worth it most of the time and it makes life exciting.

It got better, like way better.
But even when I started around 2009 with 14 years back then, people who probably couldnt finish an EKG were telling me up and down how dangerous going to the gym is and I couldnt list all the problems im going to get.

Add whey Protein on top of the Mix and you got alot of obese hobby nutrition scientist telling you, that your kidneys are going to fail, while their body doesnt even remember anymore what an Insulin Spike even feels Like.

Organic soy. People think it puts estrogen into your system when actually, soy contains phytoestrogen, a plant estrogen, that doesn’t affect humans. In fact, organic soy prevents diseases like breast cancer and is a great protein and calcium source.

What a load of dangerous horseshaite. Not only flavonoids like quercetin are endocrine disruptors (pHyToEstRoGenS), which excessive consumption directly leads to diseases like breast cancer and male reproduction system failure, they literally only exist so that plants could defend themselves from being eaten by animals. It's their sole purpose - being toxic to plant-eating animals, bacteria and fungi. Liver failure is the best thing you could get from having a pill a day with micronized flavonoids.
