A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Term "healthy" applies to mainly foods, but not medicines, which are in fact the most direct way to make us healthy (lemmy.ml)

healthy is more of a modifier that narrows down the categorization of what we're discussing, less often used as a highlight of an intrinsic property. also there's the fact that medications are often saddled with less than ideal side-effects and are resorted to only as a trade-off where the issues caused are less deleterious to a patient than the issues they address, so not even they are intrinsically healthy. The reason healthy food is a concept is because the majority of people have a tendency to enjoy food that is unhealthy.
