Uh, no. I spoke of positive spiritual and mental effects of things like running and surfing, not their well-documented health benefits.
I appriciate the mentality. Of course I cycle a lot and it has great benefits, but I think it can only rise your overall happiness and that is different then just having a drink get relaxed and feel good at a party.
I don't have social anxiety anymore since I am healthy, but still a drink can have great effects on me when I go out.
Homeopathy has positive spiritual benefits too.
you'll be buried next to me about six months later, with a little sign that says "he tried really, really hard to live longer than -> that guy"
