Well what is a healthy conscience?
Rex
Founder
Healthy:
Possessing good health.
Conducive to good health; healthful: healthy air.
Indicative of sound, rational thinking or frame of mind: a healthy attitude.
Sizable; considerable: a healthy portion of potatoes; a healthy raise in salary.
Conscience:
The awareness of a moral or ethical aspect to one's conduct together with the urge to prefer right over wrong: Let your conscience be your guide.
A source of moral or ethical judgment or pronouncement: a document that serves as the nation's conscience.
Conformity to one's own sense of right conduct: a person of unflagging conscience.
The part of the superego in psychoanalysis that judges the ethical nature of one's actions and thoughts and then transmits such determinations to the ego for consideration.
Obsolete. Consciousness.

I don't drink, smoke, snort, etc. I walk several times a week and lift weights. I have spiritual practices, i.e. prayer and meditation. I make a good living and am careful who I associate with. I am into growth. Is this the type of thing you mean? I try to eat healthy foods and never eat at the fast foods places. If I did it would be a salad. I believe in a positive attitude.

I try to be health conscience. I'm very careful about what I eat, even to the point of giving up meat and most dairy because I felt it was better for me healthwise if I didn't eat it. I don't smoke, don't drink soda pop or sugary drinks, and have only the occassional beer. I know I don't exercise as much as I should, but I'm working on that. I try to make sure I get plenty of quality sleep.

I received this in my email today, maybe it will help. :roll:
I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

.
Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
*****
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
*****
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

LOL, I kinda have the same mentality Lightkeeper. I eat what I want, when I want. Oddly enough, the things I like to eat are usually not too terrible for me. I do exercise, but it is because I enjoy it and not because I want to be healthy. Shrug. I'm alive. Somehow I'm healthy despite a general disregard for my personal wellbeing. Maybe its just because I have some common sense....

A healthy concience varies from one person to the next, in that for one person their sense of mental health might be security or predictability of their environment or for a religious devote knowing that their actions is inline with gods requirements, that is in a conscientious sense but in terms of physical food a healthy body=healthy mind what you put in is what you get out in your mind and body

Its wierd, anytime I eat, I eat until I get a chill. Then I know I'm full and should not eat anymore. Its wierd I know, but it happens. And sometimes I can eat alot, sometimes I can't. But there is always a chill. And I consider myself healthy. I am rarely at the doctors. If I am its for wierd things that the doctors don't understand. Like my eyes being sensitive to light so much that it gives me migraines. Its supposed to be the other way around. Yep, has MRI's, epilepsy test, blood tests, the whole shibang. Nothing though. They still have no idea. See, science can't tell you everything.

I agree with littleseal, what you put in is what you get out, the mind and body have a connection. But to me making the decsion to eat healthy would be to improve my quality of life, reduce symptoms created by my body's reaction to what I put in it, rather than extend my life, it can make differences in the present as well as the long run.

arty:The amgiguity of the heading of this topic has alreday been hinted at.
My conscience is thriving. As I don't belive in any supernatural power, there is nothing (or nobody) that I could sin against, and as long as I don't stray away from the Way/Dao/Tao, my conscience is happy. - It is interestíng to know that there is no word in Chinese for "sin". What is used in Christian contexts may as well be translated as "foolishness".
As for health consciousness, I don't care very much about what I eat. I walk at least an hour a day on average, and in the season I do a fair amount of garden work. No pesticides there, of course. For anti-oxidants, I take a dose of Q10 every day. It seems to be biochemically sound. And I take a small dose of acetyl salicylic acid as well, trying to prevent a second stroke. For the same reason (I tell myself) I take a glass of red wine every now and then, and I gave up smoking after my stroke.
So I think that I will pass on both interpretations.

I've been trying to eat a more healthy diet lately. I haven't eaten red meat since I was 12, but now I try to avoid much chicken as well. I've been adding vegetables to everything I can think of, drinking water instead of pop, avoiding high calorie/fat crap, etc... However, I have no excerise regimen, I smoke when I drink, and I drink more than half the week. There are some great parks with nature trails around here though, so I'm going to get to walking a lot this summer, and maybe start running again.
