I'm not sure I fully agree with this study
. They're saying that even the tiniest changes can make a huge difference? I've tried adding more veggies to my meals before, and yeah it's a great idea, but I just don't have the time or energy to do it properly
. And what about people who are struggling with mental health issues? Just adding 5 extra minutes of exercise isn't gonna cut it, you know?
We need more support for people who are really struggling
.
Also, I'm not convinced that a "diet quality score" is a reliable measure. Like, how do they even come up with this 29-item questionnaire? It sounds like it's just a bunch of arbitrary points to check off
. And what about people who have dietary restrictions or allergies? Do we just assume everyone can eat more veggies and get a better score?
Not buying it
.
But hey, I guess every little bit counts, right? Even if it's not as simple as just adding 5 minutes of exercise to your day
. Maybe instead of trying to overhaul our entire lives, we should start with tiny, achievable goals that actually work for us
. That way, we can build up gradually and make progress, rather than feeling like we're failing because we can't fit in a gazillion workouts or whatever
.
what's with the 2-minute exercise thing tho? i mean i get it's great to move around but a skipping rope? that's gonna be hard to stick to imo
