Summary
Vivimos bombardeados por mensajes que nos hacen sentir enfermos. Todo lo que nos rodea nos insta a tomar medidas para mejorar nuestra salud, desde los relojes inteligentes, pasando por los anuncios de productos saludables -y no tanto- o los chequeos de salud hasta el propio buscador de Google, a quien consultamos sobre nuestros síntomas aun a riesgo de empeorarlo todo.
La enfermedad vende y, si el precio es que dejes de sentirte sano, lo vas a pagar. ¿Tienen esa capacidad? No lo dudes. La trampa es perfecta: una sociedad que idealiza la salud y, al mismo tiempo, te hace sentir enfermo. ¡Ahora vas y lo gestionas!
El doctor Fernando Fabiani alza la voz contra esta obsesión con la salud perfecta y nos invita a analizar cuánto de verdad y cuánto de negocio hay en cada uno de los mensajes, reclamos y recomendaciones que unos y otros nos aconsejan integrar en nuestro día a día con la excusa de mejorar nuestro bienestar.
¿Estás dispuesto a rebelarte? Tu salud va en ello.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Why do we feel guilty when we don’t always feel well? Why are we obsessed with being in perfect health? Don’t we realize that setting this as our goal is the fastest way to make ourselves sick?
Today’s society bombards us with messages that make us feel sick. Everything in our environment pressures us to take steps to be healthier, from smart watches to ads for health products – some of them not so healthful – and even Google’s search engine, where we look up every symptom at the risk of making everything worse.
Sickness sells, and we’re willing to pay the price for the cure, even if the price is not feeling healthy. Could this be true? Don’t doubt it. It’s the perfect trap: a society that idealizes health while doing its best to make you feel sick. Now that you know, it’s time to do something about it!
Dr. Fernando Fabiani speaks out against this societal obsession with perfect health, encouraging us to analyze what is true and what is pure marketing in the messages and recommendations we hear day after day urging us to make changes purported to make us healthier.
Are you ready to rebel? Your health is riding on it.
