I Memorized Every Vitamin Study

I read that vitamin K prevents diabetes and suddenly kale wasn't just a vegetable anymore. It was insurance. Protection. Control disguised as wellness. I started tracking my leafy greens like they were medication. Spinach for lunch, Brussels sprouts for dinner. I knew which foods had the highest concentrations, memorized studies about blood sugar regulation and beta cells. My grocery cart looked so healthy. People probably thought I had my life together. But I was just afraid. Afraid of my genetics, my future, my body betraying me. Every study became another rule, another way to feel like I was doing enough. I thought I was being responsible. Really, I was white-knuckling my way through produce aisles, turning nutrition into anxiety, wellness into worry. Sometimes the healthiest thing isn't more information. It's trusting your body knows what it needs. #HealthAnxiety #ControlIsExhausting #FoodGuilt #Health #Diet
