A Man Fighting for Health [Essay]

I am a health nut.
A health nut who can never seem to become healthy.
A health nut who answers "health" when asked about their hobbies.

I am a middle-aged man approaching forty.

I want to live a long, healthy life, watch my children grow up, and see the progress of technology.
I want to go on a trip to space someday.

With those thoughts hidden in my heart, I strive for health day and night.

And yet... and yet...

I caught a cold.

A high fever arriving with intense chills.

My head hurts, and my joints ache.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

What is going on?
This isn't what we agreed upon.

Are you saying my approach to health, which involves paying attention to diet, sleep, and breathing, is wrong?

What else am I supposed to do?
I should have done my best.

Damn it...

Is there no choice but to become an android?

Thinking such things, I took my medicine and went to sleep.

However, I was surprised when I woke up in the morning.

I am recovering.

Although some body aches remain, the headache is gone and my fever has dropped to a slight one.

It is as if my stamina recovered from sleeping at an inn in a game.

Is this the work of good health?

No matter how healthy you are, it is difficult not to get sick.
The real challenge begins after you get sick.

Health was actually about the speed of recovery.

Hahahaha!

I have finally become healthy.

Now, I must maintain this state.
It is going to get busy.

Huh?

You want me to tell you about my health regimen in detail?

Heh heh heh.

Well, don't be in such a hurry.
Actually, I don't even know myself.

I read various books and try out the best parts, so I don't know which ones are actually working.

That's why I can't recommend it to others until I've tried it for a longer period.

And what I must not forget is that I won't know if my health regimen is correct until I die.

But it is precisely because I don't know that the trial and error is fun.

For the sake of a future where my 30-years-older self isn't asked 'What do you want most right now?' and replies 'Hmm, maybe health'.

The present is what matters.

You there, taking your health for granted just because you're young.

Wake up.

If you don't maintain your health while you still have it, you're going to be in big trouble.

Yes, this article is not an essay.

It is a threatening letter and a salvation addressed to all of humanity.

Now, follow me!

Huh?

You say my way of thinking isn't healthy?

Hahaha.

It's true that even if your body is healthy, there's no point in living a long life if your way of thinking is unhealthy.

It seems I have no choice but to live a refreshing life.

I will become a refreshing old man!

See you later.
