I disagree. The downsides greatly outweigh the upsides from my perspective.

I'm skeptical that the behaviors people engage in to eke out a little more social status among people they don't value are anything more than resources wasted with high opportunity cost.

And, at 30 years of age, I'm already starting to notice that recovery from minor injuries and illnesses takes longer than it used to -- if I kept expecting and desiring perfect health, I'd get only disappointment from here on out. As much as I can choose it, I'll choose to desire only a standard of health that is realistically achievable.
