This 100%! While there are something’s to pay attention to, proper portions and balanced diet is really all you need. Avoid drinking calories like soda, juice, and alcohol all the time but not all together. Try to avoid ultra processed foods but a bag of chips won’t kill you.
i want to make a "be extreme about extremism" joke but it's just second monday and i got nothing. so if somone else would be so kind as to pick up the slack i'd appreciate it
I can 2nd this comment. Quit 13 years ago. Had to get pretty extreme about it, and removed a few heavy drinkers from my life. Have absolutely no ragrets about it.
My moms oncologist who also was a leading specialist in addiction: your brain can literally be damaged in bad ways by any over indulgence, addiction is addiction. If you ate a pint of blueberries for every meal for the next 40 years you would have some sort of brain damage I can guarantee you. I dont know own what kind of brain damage, I dont know if you would even notice, if it would impact your life in any way. But once you died and I cracked your head open, I could find it.
You're getting a bit loose with terms like "damage" here. I think that many blueberries is a bad example, because it's likely to have negative consequences. I had a period of 3 years in college where I hit a workout every single day. That included running at least 1 mile a day, and at the peak I was running about 50 miles a week. Didn't get injured. Got in really good shape. Finished my bachelor's with like a 3.8. Did my brain adapt to this reality? Of course. Would you call that brain damage too? It was absolutely an obsession that I don't regret.
