The Chicken or the Egg?

I wonder....

Are there specific patterns of behaviour within people that get sick? Are there specific patterns of behavior within people that seldom get sick?

Try to notice when you get "sick". Are there any repetitive patterns leading up to your illness?

Try to notice people that seldom get sick. What do you notice about them?

So, I ask:

Are we not working out because we are sick, or are we sick because we are not working out?

Thoughts?
