Health is just a means to an end. Eating healthy and exercising comes at a cost. There is no benefit I see for me in having different jaw lines or facial structure. I don't need to live as long as possible. I just want to maximize the enjoyment while I am here. So I just do enough so I have the body to do my favorite hobbies.

Some hobbies also happen to be exercise and can be done nearly daily. Just do more of them and now there's a much lower 'cost' to exercise. Whether or not you find these types of hobbies enjoyable is another story.

Well, the jaw is related to tongue posture, breathing and facial pain, migraines etc. Also the muscle imbalances, back pain, weird walking is also related to the jaw and its symmetry.

I know this because I suffer from it
