I should be more vocal about the things I believe are doing us harm, but many years ago in my early twenties, I learned a bit of a lesson. I started to realise at that time the benefits of eating healthy food and drink.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a lot of different things that we do during life that could personally harm us and I choose not to stop doing those things.
Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.
I have been dealing with illness and its manifestations since I was a teenager, and I think that gives me a very healthy respect for the things in life we can't control.
I see harm reduction as a way of engaging people as part of that path to recovery.
As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.
Guilt can stop us from taking healthy care of ourselves.
The belief that the world is getting worse, that we can't solve extreme poverty and disease, isn't just mistaken. It is harmful.
The idea that we cause harm by doing what we perceive to be the right thing, that's another theme that interests me. Because most people don't intend to cause harm, they cause harm by doing the right thing - in their mind.
I was brought up to think a lot about food and have respect for it, both as medicine and something to eat and enjoy.
I have a very strong opinions about health and our responsibility to our own health, and I will always say what I feel.
