[vasurano]

Yes that's true. It is not advisable playing with your body because maintaining it avoids doctor & hospital. It also avoids painful diseases caused due to diabetes. The example of Bank Account is wrong because our body is not something to be deposited or accounted, it's the wonderful thing that GOD has given us so one should take care of it.
