There is this huge misconception that being 'thin' means you are healthy. This is NOT the case. Human health is defined by multiple things, and one of the most important aspects of your health is your mindset. Your mindset will influence most other aspects of your health including eating a nourishing diet, exercising appropriately, finding gratitude for your life, and being able to cope with life stresses.
Following health advice from people just because they appear 'thin' and post photos on social media of celery juices can be risky. Firstly social media is often used to portray an āimageā which is far from the truth. I can easily claim to drink celery juices all day while actually consuming a bottle of wine and skipping dinner most nights in order to stay āthinā. With āthinā being portrayed as healthy, we need to remember that putting our body under pressure to maintain a certain level of āthinnessā is also not healthy. "Pressure" is when we are not eating enough food putting ourselves at risk for nutritional deficiencies and muscle wasting, excessively exercising which can negatively affect your muscles, tendons, hormones, heart, mood and much more, or replacing meals with substances like ci******es, alcohol or caffeine.
At the end of the day, no one can see the plaque building up inside of their arteries, our heart can not tell us that it is struggling and under pressure, we can not hear our organs crying for help, and being 'thin' does not make someone immune to this. If you are truly looking for health advice look beyond skin deep and find a health-care professional that you can trust.
