We are always faced with some kind of choice—for instance, whether to be healthy or happy (lol). Sometimes these two paths are like parallel lines that never intersect—especially if your happiness comes from store-bought smoked sausage, Coca-Cola, and potato chips.

And don’t even get me started on fast food—that’s "happiness" to go (or to eat in a restaurant). But can an unhappy person truly be healthy?

I have my doubts. At that point, you’re forced to choose between physical health and mental well-being. I imagine a traveler lost in the desert who, unable to find water, would lose their sanity long before their body began to suffer irreversible physical damage.

You know, there’s a humorous—yet surprisingly wise—saying: it’s better to overeat than to undersleep! :)

If you live by that, life becomes a lot more cheerful—and, arguably, healthier, too. After all, a good mood is always beneficial; the "happiness hormones" can be more effective than many medicines. As for what constitutes an "excess"... well, I suppose it’s any food or treat that a person tries to cram into their stomach, well beyond what they actually want or can comfortably handle. :)
