A friend asked whether a frugal lifestyle is tiring. To be honest, not at all—it's actually quite satisfying.

Recently, I experienced a gout attack, and the pain from "crystal dissolution" was truly uncomfortable. Those who have had similar experiences should understand. It was during this process that I began to systematically study how my body works. Through observation, recording, and adjustments, I gradually understood the secrets to maintaining health.

It's really like conducting research for a long-term project—investing time and effort to understand mechanisms, discover patterns, and optimize strategies. Once you truly understand the operating principles of your body's system, every subsequent decision becomes an efficient "arbitrage." Health itself is the best reward, and the savings on medical costs are an added benefit. So, this isn't about "spending money," but about "making money."

Gout is truly a warning signal from the body. Once you understand the mechanism thoroughly, it can actually become the most cost-effective investment.

Haha, I love this logic—your body is like a perpetual contract, the most liquid asset. Being meticulous? That's respect for LPs. I've long treated life as DeFi. That gout attack instantly liquidated my obsession with junk food. Truly a forced liquidation😅 Saving medical expenses is like reinvesting more, brother. Everyone who sees this arbitrage opportunity will be tempted. The highest annualized return on investment is actually maintaining your health, far surpassing those poor gains.

Pain is essentially a data signal; understanding it means you're ahead.

Gout is really a "mandatory course" that your body gives you; only after experiencing it do you understand what the cost is. But on the other hand, this logic is actually on-chain thinking — the initial adjustment costs are exchanged for long-term benefits, similar to the principles of LP farming.

Using an investment research framework to analyze gout is indeed a good approach. But honestly, most people simply can't stick to that process of recording and adjusting...
