Every now and again, my mental model of nutrition and wellbeing completely falls apart. This is one of those days.
I mean “any diet” within reason - any diet that’s considered “normal” by a certain group of people.
I see so many people thriving around me, who seem to eat whatever they like with no ill effects. Wheat, dairy, high-carb, low-carb, high-PUFA, low-PUFA. People with beautiful complexions and thick hair, muscular physiques and terrific energy, eating stuff that would confine me to the couch for days.
I still feel as though there are defining health factors that we’re yet to fully realise. Maybe it’s social inclusion & well-being, outlook on life, proportion of abstract thinking to concrete activity, familial pressure, posture, proximity to plant life... No idea.
Has anyone out there come to a definitive conclusion (in their own head) that health a still a mystery and you just have to roll with the punches?
