Serving the body is granting it whatever it seeks of pleasures and desires and what it covets, but...
خِدْمَةُ الجَسَدِ إعْطاؤُهُ ما يَسْتَدْعيهِ مِنَ المَلاذِّ والشَّهَواتِ والمُقْتَنَياتِ وَفي ذلِكَ هِلاكُ النَّفسِ۔

Physical health is one of the most wholesome bounties.
صِحَّةُ الأجْسامِ مِنْ أهْنَاِ الأقسامِ۔
—Ghurar al-Hikam
—غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم
How can one be deceived by the health of a body that is prone to malady?.
كَيفَ يُغْتَرُّ بِسَلامَةِ جِسْم مُعَرَّض للآفاتِ۔
