What health practices do you practice which might be counter-culture?

Asked by eden2eve (3703points) June 28th, 2010

What practices do you feel pretty strongly about avoiding or including in your health regimen that might make you unusual among your culture?

Some of mine are no microwaves, no Teflon-type cooking implements, nix to almost all artificial sweeteners. I don’t like to use anything that can be addictive, (well, except maybe chocolate) : > and for the most part avoid processed foods. I won’t drink tap water, and am very particular about how my water is filtered. I don’t do barbeque. And I avoid non-organic pesticides and fertilizers.

And a corollary to that, how do others respond to you about ovserving these practices? Do they respect you, or do they find these ideas absurd and give you a bad time about them? Many years ago I used to get hassled a lot more than I do these days. Maybe I was born in the wrong generation.
