The question is, is it a mitzvah to take care of your health? Now, while people often define mitzvah as commandment, the word mitzvah comes from the word, which means attachment. Because a mitzvah forges a bond, an attachment between the performer of the mitzvah and Hashem, the creator of heaven and earth, who issued the mitzvah. And the word for sinet comes from meaning to miss the mark to lose the way to go off the path. A mitzvah connects us attaches us to the source of all life and vitality to the flowing source of life itself.
