Health Questions Regarding the Ordained Below, I have questions regarding Buddhist monasticism. They are centered around topics of health.

May a monastic regulate their alms diet in order to focus on healthy foods and avoid unhealthy ones?
Would it be appropriate for a monastic to physically exercise to keep healthy?
Do monastics have access to healthcare for dental &amp; physical checkups as well as brush their teeth, cut their nails, etc.?

Thank you for your time and may you be well.
May a monastic regulate their alms diet in order to focus on healthy foods and avoid unhealthy ones?

Few can do and most can not.

Would it be appropriate for a monastic to physically exercise for the sake of retaining their health?

When you say for the sake health. Is this closer to rehabilitation after suffering a stroke or jogging for general exercise? I think this question isn't supposed to be answered categorically.

Do monastics have access to healthcare for dental &amp; physical checkups as well as brush their teeth, cut their nails, etc.?

I think most monks have access to these things.
