All of us have come across many “simple” guidelines for better health. They are everywhere, on social media, in newspapers, magazines, TV shows, etc. Humans all desire universal aims such as good health and longer lives, hence there is always interest in the easiest, fastest routes to attain such desirable outcomes.

This may also be due to living in a modern world where everyone is often confronted with stress and pressures related to work, social, family, environmental, and other issues. There is usually simply not enough time to look after oneself properly, so the idea of obtaining “health” quickly (perhaps via some pills) can be very attractive.
