Testosterone is a complex hormone and in the past 25 years the average testosterone in men has gone down 25%. There's a lot of reasons why one big reason is pornography. Watching stimulating material on the wingman can stimulate testosterone release enhance your workouts and help you trigger ketosis which can help you rapidly lose excess fat, and can also help you be open spiritually. There's a reason Jesus and Moses both spent 40 days in the Desert fasting before they became closer to God. They were in ketosis. The ethics of what you watch on wingman becomes very tricky because the more explicit material the more stimulating it is and more enhance your work out will be.
When you're married, you cannot have a discussion about men's health without mentioning your wife, and you can't discuss women's health without mentioning her husband.
What is physical health? Is it a set of measurable quantitative metrics that are all within range? Is it when your LDL cholesterol is within range? Unfortunately, we didn't design ourselves. God did. We don't have the engineering design files for a human being. We think we understand human health because we can measure a few of the things floating around in our blood. It's more complex than that. Fathers are how children learn to know God, and to some extent, the physical abilities of fathers demonstrate to the kids the physical abilities of God. That's why physical health is important when you're married.That's why physical health should be important to men. Also, your wife will think you're hot, and so she'll try to look better because she thinks you could get other women. That's how men's and women's health are related.
LDL cholesterol mobilizes cholesterol to go to your testicles to make testosterone. LDL cholesterol is good. Testosterone is good. The blood pressure in your arm isn't the same as the blood pressure surrounding your heart. If you have a lot of abdominal fat, you have a lot of visceral fat, and you have a lot of pericardial fat, which puts pressure on your heart. It's not good to put pressure on your heart, it can harden it, and Jesus said it's better to soften your heart. Intellectualization is an immature defense mechanism, it's when you say a lot of articulate scientific things in response to something extraordinary complex you don't really understand. When doctors talk about human health, they don't really know what it is, and they have an immature defense mechanism just discussing what they know. They have some knowledge but no wisdom, no context, no deeper understanding. That's why so many people are unhealthy.
To me, physical health is when your knees and lower back stop hurting because you lost 40 pounds of fat. It's when you're having crazy sex with your wife almost every day and she's wanting to do it more. It's when you can keep up with your kids and do physical activities with them. It's when you can do 1200 calories in an hour on the elliptical. It's when you can do the activities enjoyed when you were younger like basketball or skateboarding if you wanted to. But when you're older now, it's when you're formidable enough looking to gain the respect of young men. Fathers are how young children learn to know God, and to some extent, the physical abilities of fathers demonstrate to the kids the physical abilities of God.
Or is it when your wife or friends are telling you you look good? Is it when you can pick up your toddler and throw them in the air? Is it when you're scary enough looking to protect your family?
Spiritual Extra:
Sexuality was needed by God to push his creations forward, but it's a very complex issue. The Bible doesn't seem to cover how to have proper sexual relations. The song of Solomon is basically a man thinking a girl is hot in the girl wanting to see his work to make sure she can be provided for. Yes there are some things there that are important in a relationship but probably not everything that you would want for the seed of relationship to grow in the man and woman's head so the man can grow and do God's will and the woman is able to mold him in her seed be able to get in his head.
Women have such power from their sexuality and many women don't realize this until they're older. They can control most men through sexual acts. How do you think Herodias convince king Herod to behead John the Baptist, she used her daughter to do a sexy dance for him and realistically probably promised a threesome or something of the like once he brought the head of John Baptist on a platter to her. The only thing John the Baptist did to Herodias was say that her marriage wasn't legitimate because she was actually married to another man who she had her daughter Salome with.
Even from the dawn of mankind this was difficult. God didn't initially want to create a woman for a man and explored every other animal option instead as he knew the risk creating a woman would be. Eve was influenced by the devil to learn more wisdom through him and ate the apple and convinced Adam to do the same. The devil probably told Eve how to convince Adam to eat the apple even though Adam was told by God not to eat it, and it probably was similar to have Herodias convinced King Herod, and probably involved something sexual.
