salutary
Good for you
Salutary means promoting health or well-being, or producing a beneficial effect.
The word often describes experiences that are good for you despite being unpleasant: a salutary lesson, a salutary reminder of what can go wrong.
A salutary effect improves a situation; salutary neglect lets something thrive without interference.
