There is a version of health that is entirely defensive. Monitored, protected, kept in good condition like a car in a garage that rarely gets driven anywhere.
A body in good condition is for using. The long walk, the swim in cold water, dancing badly at a wedding, carrying somebody's kid on your shoulders until your neck complains.
Whatever state yours is in today, there is something it can currently do that it will not always be able to do. Spend a little of it on purpose. That is not neglect. That is what it is for.
