Indeed, overcoming unhealthy social conventions starts with sitting. (But it's not easy to write this comment upside down under my chair with my legs behind my head.)

You really shouldn't have a calorie deficit when you have pneumonia, but rather give your body more energy to fight. Otherwise, a BMI of 21 isn't a problem as long as you don't feel weak. I have a BMI of 20, bench press over 100kg and haven't been sick a single day in 15 years.

@LenkaSaratoga Do you know the book? "The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life" by psychologist Sheldon Solomon? It's about the theory that our entire culture is built on the repression of the consciousness of death and the distraction from its certainty. Roughly speaking, "we" drink and smoke so we don't have to look into the abyss.

@LenkaSaratoga That's really cool. Well, I think he has a point when you consider that the Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest written story in the world, is about the search for immortality, that the pyramids are ultimately just an attempt at ancient "cryonics" chambers and that the first Chinese emperors were also obsessed with the subject. Distraction/escape or fight have been our reflexes regarding our transience for at least 4000 years.
