Agilist vs Loken

does a healthy lifestyle really consist of just one thing? for example, if you spend your whole life training your left calf, can you call yourself an athlete? no, of course not.
the mere fact of jogging or proper nutrition has a positive effect on the entire body.
and a person lying in a hospital with severe obesity/a stroke/etc. will certainly regret wasting their health on a ton of burgers and lying on the couch watching TV.
and letting your body go, comforting yourself with the thought that "when you break your leg, you won't care about a double chin" - imho, is very, very stupid.
and it will always be this way. no phenomenon in the world has an efficiency equal to one hundred percent. but that is not an excuse. no one promised it would be easy.

The left calf rules, of course! I won't argue for now that jogging and proper nutrition have a positive effect on the entire body :D. Well, let's assume someone eats "healthy food" and runs. Will that save their lungs from a cold, their eyes from failing vision, or their brain from cancer? I doubt it. If you do eye exercises for 5 minutes every morning, it will certainly have a positive effect on your eyes. But will it be noticeable? No. Therefore, two paths emerge: drop it and stop messing around, or continue, but for more time and more seriously—then you'll feel the improvement. Although, there is a third option—wasting 5 minutes a day on who knows what. It's the same with everything. If we want to protect ourselves from brain cancer, we throw away our mobiles and go somewhere in the middle of nowhere where there are no towers. Otherwise, we have a chance to die of brain cancer with a healthy stomach and buff legs. Now about the person with severe obesity. First—when you're lying in a hospital, you're far from thinking "What a jerk I am! How could I let it get to this!" (I experienced this myself today). Second—would a person leading a healthy lifestyle lying next to an obese patient think "Phew, I'm so great! I ended up here leading a healthy lifestyle, not like this guy on the right!"? If a person wasted their health on hamburgers, they will know it went toward pleasure, rather than toward who-knows-what in the case that a "healthy person" falls ill. Comforting yourself with the words "when you break your leg, you won't care about a double chin" is, IMHO, complete nonsense. However, comforting yourself with the words "I will leave my body healthy" is, IMHO, even bigger nonsense. What difference does it make what our body remains like after our death? Therefore, it's better to squeeze every 100% out of it, enjoy life, and then leave it.

I never thought that the inability to grab an extra sandwich between lunch and dinner could turn a healthy, flourishing person into a small, downtrodden individual with suicidal tendencies
as I already said, total refusal or extremely strict restriction of food is the lot of athletes.
a normal person should simply not overindulge in it.
perhaps you imagine a "healthy person" must necessarily be a vegetarian?

Well, the person eats a sandwich between lunch and dinner. And what desire will arise? "I think I'll go for a run to burn off the extra calories!"? Unlikely. A more likely option—"Great sandwich! I want another one!" And that's the moment of disappointment. The person either restricts themselves in the name of a semi-healthy lifestyle, or gives in and satisfies their desires. Now let's take the lot of athletes. By profession, they must be healthy. That's why they have that opinion. If you don't restrict yourself, sooner or later the food will make itself felt, and other things too, if they aren't looked after.

well yeah, a thug might be scared of our antagonist's sixty-pound belly)

He might be scared of the belly, or he might be scared of a gun or pepper spray...

well, first of all, you should once and for all stop using phrases like "grueling workouts" or "slinging weights" etc., because, I repeat, that is the lifestyle of a bodybuilder athlete, whereas we are discussing simply the healthy lifestyle of an ordinary citizen.
secondly, for some reason, athletes do not suffer from heart attacks or ruined psyches. on the contrary, constantly staying in shape increases a person's self-esteem, especially when comparing themselves to... "fat-stuffers" :)-

Ok, now we'll have grueling diets :D
Athletes' psyches are all OK. Question: how so? They live in a state of constant competition, trying to be the best, so this very desire blocks that weakness in the psyche that could be fatal, although not for everyone. Additionally, athletes usually start sports in childhood, which is constant tempering for the nerves. Their self-esteem is high again because they wouldn't be able to achieve anything otherwise, without it. Furthermore, even athletes with weak nerves "live" in the gym. There they are the best, or among the best, but when they go somewhere not for business, it often looks funny or stupid. Moreover, some athletes do not lead a healthy lifestyle, using various nasties to enhance muscles. They even wrote a little poem:
The bodybuilder walks and flexes,
Sighing as he goes:
"The steroids are running out,
I'm about to collapse!".

I beg you, the benefits of tempering were known even before the Common Era.
and you would do well to familiarize yourself with the statistics, which, although harsh, are very accurate, and clearly show the differences between healthy and "unhealthy" lifestyles.

Tempering is cool, but it cannot guarantee 100% immunity against cold-related diseases.

P.S. A healthy lifestyle rules! Truth be told, my desires are almost completely opposite to it, so I look for the middle ground (that very average citizen).
