." Where does the concept of "wellness" stop being about health and start becoming more about beauty and desirability?So much of wellness isn't about health at all. There's a section of wellness, like vitamins, that are supposedly about health care but the vast majority of wellness procedures, services, and products are leisure activities for people of means, and I think that's where it stops being about health. It's about wealth.
At the same time, if something is low impact on your wallet and your time, and it helps you feel better then, whatever, do it. I think we know when things are bogus, but we have really famous people like Gwenyth Paltrow or Tom Brady telling us they're not bogus, and then we doubt ourselves. But those people have a team of doctors and all the money and time in the world to explore how many injectables they can get.
I think there is value in the self-care aspect of wellness. We all should be taking time out for ourselves and spending as many hours as we can a week just being mindful and feeling good. But also, if you have cancer, go to a real oncologist.That you can live forever in your most beautiful body and also reach spiritual enlightenment or something. If that's what you're looking for, you can get most of that for free.
You have to eat, so eat good food. Spend your time with non-toxic people. Go to church or whatever your thing is. You don't need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on something to have spiritual enlightenment and to feel like your life was well-lived. My grandmother buys essential oils but that's not all she does. She mostly eats her own canned food on the farm and goes to church. She's gonna live forever.
