“Anima sana in corpore sano” is a Latin phrase that can be translated to “a sound mind, in a sound body”. While a person’s mind can comprehend ideas beyond the physical realm and metaphysical reality, it is helpful to remember that our abilities to think and wonder are still ultimately cognitive functions that extend from our brains. In other words, our minds are attached to our bodies. In order to thus maximize and optimize our ability to think and comprehend, it is probably in our interest for us to seek an active lifestyle that produces and results in a physiological healthy body. If we can foster our body’s health, we will consequently foster our mind’s health. We should not limit ourselves to achieving and seeking healthy bodies corresponds to a certain stereotypical or socially idealized form of body. Men, for example, do not necessarily have to achieve prominent muscular builds with six-pack abs. Rather, we should strive to seek and attain bodies that would be considered healthy under any professional medical criteria; there is no single body type or structure that monopolizes the concept of health.
