So, health. I just did a health check, and while I don't have the results yet to check myself, the doctor's summary was that everything is about as good as it gets, except...
... that I'm only just over 60 kilos, putting me right at the boundary toward where I'd be considered underweight.
(My arm is also not as good as it gets, but apparently that doesn't show up in the results. In general, I'm assuming a health check is not a proof that you don't have problems, but more like, well, we're going to test for stuff based on a mixture of what's most common and what's easy to test, and if there's problems not in that set, we're just not gonna find those.)
Coincidentally at the same, Sam released
this three hour podcast about health and longevity, and the guest argued a lot for the importance of exercise and muscle mass. Imo he was pretty convincing.
So the upshot is that I'm going to make a serious attempt at doing more exercise. I was already doing some every day, but admittedly didn't put a lot of time in, and that was clearly not enough.
But I don't think I'm gonna put more than one hour per day in because, like, that's just not worth it. Even if you live five years longer, if that costs you a tenth of your waking hours, the tradeoff is questionable.
