Victims of our own success
We go to college or university, we have careers, we have families, we wear fashionable clothes, we 'do lunch', we entertain, we go on foreign holidays, we have wines and 'premium beers', we have long weekends away, we have deadlines ... what we don't have is a lot of time for ourselves. We don't sit and enjoy a nice quiet family lunch, we don't check our alcohol consumption, we don't cook or bake but buy convenience foods, we can't leave things until tomorrow, we skip meals, we grab a takeaway, we drive everywhere, we sit all day and we use tea and coffee to wake us up because we don't have time for an early night ... which is all fine - occasionally and in moderation.
The 'modern' way of doing things, however, means we don't do things in moderation. We need to pack twice as much into every day, and we have devised short cuts to enable this to happen.
Detoxifying yourself is super important, and so is MODERATION. We should all be careful how we treat ourselves. :)
