NFT: Would you rather look healthy, be healthy or feel healthy?

Anakim : 2/24/2024 9:26 am
If you had to choose one. Food for thought.


Look healthy - 6 pack, full head of hair, women are attracted to you, etc. But you feel like shit all the time and you also aren't healthy.

Be healthy - you may look and feel like shit, but you're objectively healthy with no real medical problems. Been tested up the wazoo and yet you're healthy.

Feel healthy - you have some insidious disease and look like shit, but you're still able and functional and can run 10 miles every day.
If you're healthy

why do you feel like shit (and look like shit), generally those things are kind of linked.
IMO  
fkap : 2/24/2024 9:34 am : link
feeling healthy is the primary consideration. How vain do you have to be to choose looking good over feeling/being healthy?

Next up is actually being healthy, but what good is being healthy if you feel like shit? you're either a hypochondriac, or undiagnosed. Either way, it's a low condition of life.
an argument can be made  
fkap : 2/24/2024 9:39 am : link
that feeling like shit psychologically is not healthy, so that only leaves undiagnosed, which is also not healthy. Option B seems impossible. But, if we accept it as an option, I'd still rather not feel like shit all the time.

Be healthy. But I'm a complete hypochondriac; if I have a headache, I'm convinced I have a brain tumor.

Be Healthy

It's the 1 of those 3 that involves variables beyond my control.
If one could Be healthy, one could then achieve the other two through hard work.

I'm the same way....and the hardest thing is that I know it, and I still cant help it
Is this a serious question? If you are healthy, you have everything.  
Spider56 : 2/24/2024 10:00 am : link
If you are not healthy, you have nothing …

Be well, be safe, be happy.
Better to look good

I accept it. It's just who I am. I suffer from anxiety, irrational thoughts & fears, etc.

Therapy helps.

This is the truth. Health, both physical and emotional (if you wish to dichotomize that) is the key. When it is lacking nothing else matters in life
Anyone who has cared for or suffered through real illness  
Jim in Forest Hills : 2/24/2024 10:30 am : link
knows this answer
The answer is Be Healthy  
Chris684 : 2/24/2024 10:37 am : link
Nothing else matters, not to mention the other 2 will follow along.
Since Covid I have had 3 people in my orbit  
Chris684 : 2/24/2024 10:40 am : link
diagnosed with cancer including my brother.

I watched 2 (including my brother) go through absolute hell with chemotherapy, but luckily they made it through and are healthy now.

The other (my coworker) not as fortunate. Major medical emergency this summer was found to be cancer. She was dead by January.

The answer is definitely be healthy.

If I'm healthy why do I feel awful? This question doesn't really work. You're really only asking someone if they want to be ugly and live or look good and die.

I would argue though if you're healthy and you feel like shit you're not healthy. Maybe it's mental health but I believe mental health can and often does lead to physical maladies (or worse).

So, I think option B is an impossible scenario (my opinion).

Health is key  
upnyg : 2/24/2024 11:07 am : link
Whether its mental health or physical health. There's temporary health issues and then their life threatening health issues.

The temporary health can change, the way you look and feel can change...the life threatening not so much!

Be healthy  
HomerJones45 : 2/24/2024 11:12 am : link
no question.

Had an old Italian guy once tell me:

"Da tree mosta importanta tings isa you God, you family anda you helt; the rest isa all bullsheet."

He was right.

I'm healthy, ugly, and feel  
oghwga : 2/24/2024 12:50 pm : link
Like crap a lot but that's because I'm beating the crap out of my body every day trying to get my house built. I'm almost 60 and everything hurts all the time but I like that I can still grind out a full day of hard labor. A little weed goes a long way. My drywall guy is 74 and he's here with me everyday lugging drywall compound and up and down the ladder.

If you rest, you rust. So I choose healthy, feel healthy, look healthy.
Life is only about a few things

4. Having at least one orange cat as a pet

Thirded. When I go for a spell without having a drink, I eat better, sleep better, never miss a workout and am more productive. When I break the chain I have a much more difficult timeresuming that healthy routine and then start to feel, not bad, nut not as good.

One is not necessarily independent of the other.
I can't believe this  
Bill in UT : 2/24/2024 6:54 pm : link
is a real question. Maybe at 74 I just have more appreciation for actually being healthy.
