Mind Manipulation
Share
When a self-respecting person hears about mind manipulation, they believe they cannot be deceived. They see themselves as an individual, a free atom of humanity. How could anyone influence them? An atom is an atom, yet even atoms have been split—despite the word "atom" originally meaning "indivisible."
Commercial Interests Dictate Our Choices and Values
Advertising distorts our perception of food and healthy habits. In the past, we ate to live; now, we live to eat.
A Toxic Food Environment
We are surrounded by cheap but often unsuitable food choices. Healthy food is lost in a sea of unhealthy alternatives.
Numerous studies on so-called "Blue Zones"—regions where life expectancy significantly exceeds the average—indicate that the surrounding environment itself plays a key role in maintaining public health.
In such conditions, it is much easier to stay healthy, as unhealthy food and harmful habits are not as prevalent as they are in countries with high mortality and disease rates.
Mind Manipulation and the Importance of Awareness
One of the main causes of the obesity epidemic and other chronic diseases is the unregulated marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages.
However, the trick is that any form of mind manipulation works only as long as we remain unaware of these techniques and fail to recognize that our choices are not entirely our own.
In this context, it is wise to make more conscious decisions about our diet and other aspects of our lifestyle, remembering that losing health is far easier than regaining it.
