Hello,
The Buddha, as my impression is, wanted us to keep the body healthy to not hinder the practice. If you eat right and exercise your body will get strong and healthy. What level of maintenance is sufficient from a Buddhist point of view?
The simple answer is: enough to keep you healthy, but with all knowledge today about the body, nutrition and exercise: how do we define what kind and amount of nutrition and exercise will suffice for a buddhist?
An additional question: Have there been situations where you have reflected that the Buddhist life – monastic or not – does or does not support your physical health?
Thanks
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
