Is it just me, or did the whole country recently decide to go on this giant health kick? The last couple months, maybe even years, I've noticed this craze of staying "fit and healthy" attack social media. Obviously not everything on social media defines what happens in real life, but its very pronounced. Scrolling through Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, whatever it may be, all I see are organic food recipes, how to clean eat, Herbalife this, Herbalife that. And in no way is that bad! Seriously! Its about time one of the most overweight countries in the world start taking care of themselves, but I can't help but wonder where this came from. Is it the peer pressure, inspiration, or notice of future consequence? Or maybe a little mixture of all of those?
Admit it, you're willing to spend 8 bucks on an acai bowl and drive 45 minutes to take a hike. I mean...sometimes these ideas don't just pop into our head (most of the time) but you saw it on Instagram and felt inspired. "Inspired" as in: you thinking, " Hey that looks cool. I wanna do that and maybe take cooler pictures."
Anyway, not sure where I was going with this, but just wanted to share the idea that maybe we all wanna be a little bit healthier and go work out a bit more because other people influence us to! Never a bad thing.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT. People are starting to go on hikes and eat "prettier looking food" because they saw it on social media and want to try it or want to take a cool picture. Which isn't bad at all, people are going to follow what's on social media so it is a good thing that what people are now starting to want to do is good for them.
ReplyDeleteYes Vick! All you ever see anywhere is to stay fit and to eat good food. And like Adriana says it can be a good thing. People now a days are followers and do whatever they see a pretty girl on the internet doing. this can be a really really good thing
ReplyDeletei agree with what adriana says about the whole "going on the hunt for prettier looking food" is actually a big motivator because everyone is always trying to one-up each other whether it be one social media or in real life
