Competitive athlete is healthy?

We all know that doing sports is super healthy . Go for a walk , go to the gym 3 to 4 times week , do any sport 3 to 4 times week and off course if you combine with healthy food and good sleep you will live more , look younger and feel much better . But only when you do sports the soft way , not pushing limits trying to break your records or training like a maniac 7 days a week.
And that´s when problems came . When you are a competitive athlete or even someone fanatic about sports you will push over limits and got overtrained super easy , and that´s when sports stop being healthy.

The biggest example are bodybuilder during contest prep and any other athlete from any other sport when is prepping for a competition ( any sport ) . Why? Beause all of them need to push over the limits to get better and win or break is record .

Im not telling people should not compete , im just trying to said like anything in life moderation is the key to longevity and health.

Be strong but health first

That's right, it's a life decision, you want to be on the top, you gotta make sacrifices, and part of the sacrifice is your health... this apply to any single sport

Yes any competitive sport is unhealthy , if you want health first keep a normal fitness lifestyle
