Would you like to be beautiful or to be healthy?The problem is that these two things often go separate ways.I don't talk about natural beauty given to all of us, I talk about beauty concept created by media and product sellers.You buy 100 of products that "give you perfect look",but you'll never beat that gorgeous body made with Photoshop because it doesn't exist.There are people who can kill for money.Others can die for beauty and pay huge amounts to buy poison,treat their bodies like meat.Would you die for beauty?O you'd like to be a healthy person? Look what she has done.She wanted to be beautiful.

There is a reason they say health is wealth. In this day and age, people seem to be forgetting what being healthy is all about. They starve themselves and can go to any extent trying to get that "perfect look", that does not even exist. As for me, health , health , health a 100 times over. I looked at that woman in the picture and was wondering what made her go through so many plastic surgeries. I guess its low self esteem. God has made us all different and beautiful in our own way. In that uniquness lies the beauty, not in loosing it and going the fake way!! The only reason I think someone should go in for cosmetic surgery, is if they have met with some sort of an accident or their life is drastically affected by some abnormality.

Very nice response.Low self esteem - that's what make people do things like that.But low self-esteem is closely related to low belief.From the religious point of view,if we say we are the creatures of God, what right do we have to remake what he has created?Cosmetic surgery in a case of accident of disease helps to recover what we had before,but this was an attempt to improve HIS work.And it was unsuccessful.

I think the concept of beauty can be too far-fetched at times. Men and women wanna look as good as the models they see on tv and magazines and put themselves to so much pressure and risks. I think it's alright to look at pictures of perfection, but to stick to a reality mindset.

It's hidden inside.It's a lack of self-confidence.To fight this fear of being rejected people try to look like those who are idolized thinking this would make them feel better.

of course it is important to be healthy. i will just pray that i will get more beautiful naturally as i get older. health is more important to me. i won't enjoy life no matter how beautiful i am if i don't have good health or if i am not feeling well.

I'd rather be healthy.. because being healthy will eventually lead to make you beautiful. Like for example, healthy skin leads to looking good. Healthy hair looks good. Healthy teeth looks good. Healthy body will also look good. I won't die for beauty even though I want to be beautiful. I want the natural type of beauty.

Exactly.If we have healthy teeth, our smile looks fine.Eyes of a healthy person shine.Skin is soft and has natural color,hair are glowing.

If the choice is between beauty and health, I'd choose health. That's a no-brainer. All the beauty products in the world wouldn't work if your health is poor. Now, if the choice was between health and money...like selecting pie, I'd like a little of both...

No,don't sacrifice your health for money.Sometimes we need to relax and enjoy the moment like me today, I just sat for a few minutes in my balcony,the September sun was warming me and I didn't do anything.I felt wonderful.

Hey, Well many people want to look really good, but they don't want to eat healthy at all. Like heaps of my friends want to lose weight or whatever, but they can't give up their chips and chocolate to be healthy. These two things go hand in hand. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!

being healthy is the right thing.nowadays we can find that most of the teenegers using their time for buying different beauty products and using it.actually they don't know that they are wasting their time.so that time they have to concentrate their mind on how to being healthy.eat lot of vegetables,fruits and healthy foods.drink plenty of water.daily walking and practising exercises,good sleeping,etc.if we are eating too much, then we should do enough exercises also.we can do natural beauty tips at our home.all these things are essential for being healthy.then only we can lead a healthy life.

hello dear friend, As I am a lady,I would prefer beauty first.But as well as health should be taken into consideration.Its very much required to be beautiful and gorgeous but still we have to take care of our health as well.If we will take care of our health then it can also effect on our beauty.If we are having a good health then we also are beautiful.Various vitamins and minerals are useful for our skin. So, we should prefer all these healthy habits to be beautiful.Being beautiful is only being beautiful from outside but being healthy is beautiful from both the sides,inside and outside.. Keep smiling and happy myLotting...

As much as I would like to be beautiful, there is no point if you are not healthy. Without health you feel ill and unhappy and cannot do all the things you want to do.

Health comes first. What to do in aiming for beauty if all those products could give you side effects in the long run.You'll be beautiful yet live a short life. It would just be wasted. You havent touched lives for much longer time.

I say, health. Because beauty is a bonus effect of being healthy. Hahaha! What's the sense of enhancing your bumpers if you'll end up being 6ft under. It happens when something went wrong on the operation. But being healthy is really the key of being beautiful. We should not settle for anything less. In fact, HEALTH IS WEALTH :))

I remember this lady from years ago when she did this. She looks like a cat. Its horrible what she did to herself. I believe the only reason to get plastic surgery is because of some type of accident. God gives us a face and we should be able to accept it. I have never seen anyone who has had plastic surgery and still looks like themselves. Joan Rivers is another person that looks bad. When you can't make an expression on your face that is bad as far as I'm concerned. To bad people are not comfortable in their own skin when they age. Instead of accepting the aging process they would rather look like cats or aliens. So no I would not die for beauty. I would rather be healthy person then have so called beauty. Which I don't see the beauty at all in these people. Beauty is in people who are mature enough to age gracefully and just accept it. That is both inner and outer beauty.

hi silvercoin, i opt to be healthy. if you are healthy everything will follow... your aura, you outlook, the way you carry yourself will tell you that you are beautiful because you are confident about everything in you because you are healthy. no need for any surgery, cosmetics, etc. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE/OUT because YOU ARE HEALTHY. i am healthy and i am beautiful!

Hi silvercoin! Health is wealth, wealth can make to beautiful but sometimes wealth can make you unhealthy...am right? I don't need to be beautiful when I can only be sick, of course we always want good looks but not to the extent of risking our health and even our life. Yes, I can use beauty products but it's only skin deep, don't need surgery to become beautiful. Cheers!
