In Anne Ricci’s article relating to personal health, she speaks on some of the common misconceptions that rather than help one become healthier are only preventing them from improving their personal health. One of the misconceptions she speaks of is the thought that one doesn’t have to eat often and that this doesn’t prevent you from being healthy. Another is that there is an exact science that is very difficult to obtain in providing you the nutrients.
Key Takeaways:
- I prefer to call them beliefs. Because excuses can easily become more ingrained beliefs, and a belief can keep you stuck forever.
- Here’s the truth: even with the strongest willpower in the world, you won’t eat healthy every single time, simply because life happens. But you can perfectly be consistent with a healthy eating plan once you give up the idea of being perfect.
- Many people don’t eat a healthy diet just because they think this won’t help them if they don’t also go to the gym at the same time. And the fact they don’t like to exercise stops them in their tracks.
