This Gen-Z-inspired trend is part of a broader cultural obsession with wellness – including clean eating and constant exercise.If you’re tempted to follow suit, keep in mind that while these habits are objectively beneficial, there is a hidden risk in taking them to the extreme. When the fear of “ruining progress” in our…
