although our lives are our own, our parents give us our body when we are created. to me, not taking care of that body seems like a disrespect to our parents and our ancestors all the way down (the past). further, putting poor lifestyle changes on display is enabling to children so it disrespects in the other direction (the future).

in terms of family, we are all the nexus of our past (ancestors) and the future (children).

it makes no logical sense to choose to be unhealthy.

all is takes is the will, effort and some discipline. setting a good example is "saving all beings".
