Who (and what) influences your health?
7. Tune in
The possibilities here are endless—reality shows like The Biggest Loser, talk shows like The Doctors or The Chew, cooking shows like Healthy Appetite, documentaries like Food, Inc. and podcasts like Half Size Me can influence the way we think, diet, exercise, relax, eat and make crucial health decisions. Tune in to the ones that sound interesting to you, but again, verify the legitimacy of the source.
Documentaries and films can provide health inspiration and a deep dive into a specific health topic.
The motivator behind the creation of a film or television show may be a biased source that wants to sway the information in favor of a certain belief, sell a certain product or legitimize a conspiracy theory. Check who helped make the film possible and if they have reasons to promote a certain bias or health belief.
