It is very much possible to attain a healthy stature of our being until death. Staying healthy is the part of wisdom as the bible is a book of wisdom. We should always take good care of our body as christians. As we take care of our spiritual life by listening to admonitions and teachings of Christ, we ought to take care of our physical body by eating good food and exercising.
The knowledge of people about health deteriorating is not true, the health of a person can prosper even as the souls of christians do prosper by hearing the teachings of Christ. The book of Deuteronomy 34:7 reminds us that it is possible for us to stay in good health until death as Moses lived a hundred and twenty years and his eyes were not dim nor did his health deteriorate.
The bible made us to understand that there's joy in eating the fruit that came out of our own labor, because when we work we are not only working but also we are exercising. The sweat that comes out of our body while working might be something that will harm or cause illness to our body.
So as christians, we should take care of our body, because the bible teaches us to be prosperous and healthy in soul and body. We should abstain from anything that we deteriorate our body like smoking, taking hard drugs and other things that's not good for the body system.
