Episode 0: "Would you like to rethink your health?"

"For the sake of health."

How many times have I said these words?

Exercising for the sake of health.

Watching my diet for the sake of health.

Taking medicine for the sake of health.

Going to the hospital for the sake of health.

None of these are wrong.

But one day, I had a question.

"What is health actually for?"

—

For nearly 20 years, I have worked with many people as a physical therapist.

People suffering from pain.

People facing illness.

People whose bodies no longer move as they wish.

And I noticed something strange.

The more people say they want to be healthy,

the more they tend to focus on their "own ailments."

A little pain.

A little fatigue.

A slightly bad test result.

Then, they start to worry about that "little" thing.

Of course, it is important to notice changes in your body.

But if you only keep chasing that,

before you know it,

you make a habit of searching for ailments while seeking health.

—

So, what is health?

This is what I think.

Health is by no means the goal.

Health is a state.

It is the foundation for you to laugh with loved ones,

do the work you love,

go to the places you want to go,

and live life as yourself.

That is why I believe

"living life in a healthy state" is more important

than "becoming healthy."

In this series,

I do not intend to teach you the correct way to be healthy.

It is not about exercise methods,

nor is it about diet plans.

I want to explore the more fundamental question together:

"What is health?"

Perhaps,

by the time you finish reading,

the image you held of health might have changed a little.

And that change

might become the catalyst to change not just your body,

but your life itself!!

Today's question

What do you want to be healthy for?

The answer is surely different for everyone.

But within that answer,

the life you truly want to cherish might be hidden.
