WEALTH IS HEALTH

True wealth is health.

Consider —

Would you rather be a billionaire who is 300 pounds, 40% bodyfat, in tons of pain (back, neck, shoulders, feet, legs) or be a person earning $40,000 a year but who is 200 pounds of pure muscle, 10% bodyfat, with overflowing strength and vigor?

I’d rather be the “poorer” person with great physiological strength and health, than the billionaire with terrible health.

Money without health ain’t with it.

Money is overrated. If you could add a 100 million dollars to my bank account but while adding chronic lower back or foot pain for the rest of my life, I would say “no”. No amount of money is worth my physiological health.

Health — freedom from disease

With COVID, the interesting thing is this:

Even if you’re a trillionaire, you can still get it and die from it.

Also—

There is no cure or vaccine (yet), even for the billionaires.

Perhaps health can be seen from a “via negativa” process. For example—

  1. Health as freedom of pain
  2. Health as freedom of sickness
  3. Health as freedom of concern
  4. Health as freedom from bodily and physiological weakness
  5. Health as absence of sleep deprivation

How to become less “unhealthy”

Ideas:

  1. Don’t sit down all day. Better yet, never sit.
  2. Don’t stay stationary
  3. Don’t smoke
  4. Don’t do drugs
  5. Don’t consume sugar, high fructose corn syrup, fruit drinks, or consume anything sweet.
  6. Don’t consume dessert, pastries, anything which spikes your insulin
  7. Don’t interact or engage with toxic people
  8. Don’t eat during the day (intermittent fasting as good for your health).

Why be healthy?

  • pushup
  • selfie smile thumbs up
  • selfie smile thumbs up

Do it for your personal vanity. Don’t think of it like being healthy is some sort of moral obligation or duty. Also, to be “unhealthy” or eat “unhealthy things” isn’t a sin or vice. No — strive to become “healthy” because of your own vanity, ego, and desire to look like a Greek demigod.

My home workout

I want to look great when I flex. I admire my own body like I’d admire a Lamborghini car. Except — to transform your own body into a Lamborghini is 1000x cooler than just buying a Lamborghini.

Nota benne— better to spend all of your money on delicious fatty meats, than to waste it in some stupid masculine-symbols of power (watch, car, etc).

Turbocharge your body, add horsepower to your body!

We spend so much time fantasizing about sports cars, hyper cars, muscle cars, whatever. And so much time modifying our cars. Why not use this time and effort to build our bodies instead? Instead of cars with more speed, horsepower, and 0-60 times … we can build our muscular strength, powerlifting, and physical dominance?

Health is wealth, wealth is health!
