What's more important 'faith' or 'health?'

And how are they different, if they don't both represent believing in the greater whole than self alone?

You will give your life ultimately, but for what if not lived for everything and everyone and how is that accomplished?

Whatever is most important to YOU. It's a personal decision. There are many people who don't believe in a supreme being; they seem to do fine just focusing on health. Of course, many people don't focus on health until it's too late.

One way to look at it, for those who believe, is that God gave us the power to use our brains and other skills. So focusing on health is common sense that God intended you to do, what with the body being holy and all. Curious thing, the holy body. Americans tend to forget the body as a holy temple thing. Esp. the gluttony part.

I believe my health is more important...so I guess the answer is faith. ;)
