10 things that can't be good for you
Not a scientist, so no proof.
1. Social media
Now, these social media sites make people feel bad about themselves. On Instagram, many people doctor pictures or outright fake that they are flying private, and some people think they are a loser bc they don't fly private.
Twitter is a cesspool, if you disagree with anyone or say anything outside the "company line."
Monitor your time wisely, or just delete your accounts. What are you actually getting out of the experience?
2. Fast food
The few recent times I've been to a McDonalds, or similar chain, I couldn't even eat the food. It didn't taste like food. Chik-fil-a might be the only exception. I like there breakfast once a week.
For a bit more money, you can go to a better place. Or buy your own food and cook it.
Food trucks have better food
3. News

Not picking on Tucker. Just showing that any mainstream media is just "opinion" now in the US.
4. Negativity
Negative people bring you down. Even if it is your family, don't pay them much attention or give them much time.
Surround yourself with positive people, things, experiences.
NotePD does this.
5. Lethargy
Do some exercise. Walk. Run. Lift weights. Whatever. Play a sport. Walk your dog. Rollerskate. Don't take it to the extreme. You want balance.
6. Too much productivity
7. Doing things ONLY for the money
What I love about NotePD is most of the site is focused on happiness and being a good person. Money is a part of this, but it is only a part. Don't sell your soul to the devil.

8. Cheating and taking advantage of others for money

I don't work in finance, but have many friends that do. There are so many stories of friends ripping off each other. I had one friend, who had his partner change the locks to their building because they disagreed about something. The guy who locked everyone out was the only one on the lease, so there was nothing the others could do. They were in each others weddings. Their wives and children were good friends. Really awkward and unnecessary.
9. Soft Drinks
There's all kinds of crap in them. I like a nice Coke every now and then, but having the excess sugar and chemicals in your body bubbling around can't be good for you.
Warren Buffett does drink a lot of Coke, so maybe I'm wrong.
10. Stress
Same with humans. Don't live too good of a life, but if you are really struggling in some areas, seek help.
