“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how, no matter how difficult or challenging the situation may be.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

I find this statement so odd of an out spoken atheist who famously said “God is dead”. The “Why” would denote a meaning when all ultimately would be meaningless.

What is this inner desire for meaning and the curiosity of why we exist and care for others? Is it just from social evolution and communal expectations? Or is there something more?

What you eat/drink definitely impacts how you feel on multiple levels. I encourage you to research the topic more and make changes. You won't regret it.

This cohort study investigates the association between ultraprocessed food consumption and cognitive decline in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health.
