> You don't know you'll like it until you try it.

Article isn't about whether you enjoy it or not; article is about whether it has benefits or not.

In that specific context "I think it brings me benefits" is not good enough even though "I enjoy it" is.

I was responding to a guy/gal that was wondering whether to try it if there is no hard evidence that it is beneficial. My answer to that is: try it, if you like it, it doesn't matter whether there are all those claimed benefits. The fact that you like it is enough a reason to do it.

If you don't like it, even if there are benefits (like there are from working out) and even if you know there are, you likely won't stick to it anyways (like most people don't stick to exercise regimes).
