Sounds like it would make things like surgery with general anesthesia impossible though.
Edit: Now that I think about it, wouldn’t 4 be better since it makes you functionally immortal? Dying from old age just means dying due to some of those health conditions (heart disease, cancer etc.) that get more and more likely the older you get. If you can’t get those, you don’t die of old age.
Yeah I agree that immortal probably isn’t accurate in my opinion. It depends on how liberal you interpret the term “healthy”. Is a stab wound bad health? Is decapitation bad health? I’d argue no, but there is a (weak imo) argument that it is.
A stab wound on good health heals better than a stab wound on bad health. Any injuries short of death is still better in a healthy body. I would not want a scratch on a diabetic body. And even if immortality is not on the table, severe chronic illness makes aging disgraceful.
I don’t disagree, but my point was a stab wound on a “healthy” versus “unhealthy” body is still a stab wound. If you’re able to be injured, the only way you’d be immortal is if you can regenerate from anything. That wasn’t part of the “perfect health”, so I’m assuming “perfect health” is not immortality like some of the others suggested.
More than that. If time stops around you, you can sleep in every day. You’ll probably get more than 8 hours each night.
Plus your stress will go down, and your health will go up. Both leading to a longer life. If you even used a small portion of your normal sleeping time toward physical activity, you could get very healthy.
3 and 4 by a mile, are you kidding? Everyone picking 2 doesn’t lay awake at night cringing at past memories.
Agreed. And 3 allows you to gain 1 too.
I was wavering between 1-3 and 1-4 but
Languages are a SKILL THAT CAN BE PRACTICED!
2 and 6, so I can still get a good night’s sleep after 8 straight hours of cringing.
6 basically increases your lifespan by a 1/3. So if you would have normally lived to 75 you get to 100.

Perfect health means you’ll be immortal. Combined with being talented you can do anything you want
Felt like perfect health was just like you’re never sick, never get a cavity, yada yada as these are all kind of lowkey powers

Agree too. Perfect health isn’t immortality.
