(in moderation)
Wrinkles and laugh lines are just the consequences of a life lived. Really we should celebrate them.
Nobody cares that a 50 year old doesn’t look 20. Meanwhile each laugh line indicates days filled with joy.
A friend of mine once said:
What’s the point in living forever if all you eat is salad?
I really love salad. Like an insane amount. Crunchy greens, baby spinach, every kind of onion, hit me with those sliced radishes! Sliced cucumber, carrots, bell pepper! And most days I don’t even want dressing. Or meat in there.
Which means that I don’t get enough fuel for sustenance, and I don’t get enough protein!
I guess what I’m saying is, even salad in moderation.
I used to think I didn’t like exercise. As it turns out, I’m just not that into running. I love biking though.
I’ve always loved weight lifting as well, though, so idk
It gets a habit really quick, if you find something you enjoy.
6 years ago it started as slight detours while cycling home from work, now I get itchy if I don’t manage at least 100km/week on my bike.
Dax: Steamed azna would put years on your life.
Sisko: Dax, I don’t want years on my life, if I can only eat steamed azna.
Everything in moderation, including moderation
As a fatty mcfat fat person, there are limits. Having a treat here and there is no issue, enjoy that deep fried state fair concoction, just don’t eat it every day. Buy that cute trinket or sweater or game, just don’t buy all of them every time. Enjoy the sun shine, don’t roast yourself.
I mean no one said “flee the sun”. They said “use sunscreen”.
Some take avoiding sunshine pretty seriously. I see a lot of Asians doing that, carrying parasols around and huge hats and it really does feel very “flee the sun”.
I mean that’s still spending time outside. If parasols and big hats weren’t so thoroughly OUT fashion-wise where I live I’d absolutely rock one of those. The cooling effect looks really nice.
Well, that and my gigantic head doesn’t work with the vast majority of hats.
But yeah being in the shade barely counts as protection against UV radiation anyway. If you understand the science, you do that to cool down and to see better more than you do it to avoid UV rays.
I think they do it because culturally they really like pale white skin or something. Sorta the opposite how most people where I live value a tanned skin.
