Yes, if only the human body was designed that way.
Oh don't get me started. I regard the uman body as being one of the worst
deisgns I've ever come across (and not just for this reason).

That's because it wasn't designed. This is yet another data point
showing how ill informed those who subscribe to an intelligent designer are.
We are still adapted for an environment that hasn't existed for a few
thousand years. Go back to a paleolithic diet and the same kind of
exercise (not cardio), and you'll find modern diseases reversing and
vanishing. Neolithic foods such as grains, legumes, artificial
ingredients, colors, GMO foods, trans fats from corn, canola, safflower,
soy, sunflower, enhanced and artificial, flavors, foods high in carbs
and fructose, excitotoxins such as MSG in various forms, veganism, and
modern environmental toxins are all factors that cause modern diseases
such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, alzheimers, osteoporosis, IBS,
GERD, ADHD and so on.
(Note that I didn't say go back to the paleolithic way of living, where
you'd have to hunt and forage and be chased by tigers and other
predators. Modern medicine is quite good at things such as mending
bones, but not very much else.)
