user-1: Below, I have questions regarding Buddhist monasticism. They are centered around topics of health.

May a monastic regulate their alms diet in order to focus on healthy foods and avoid unhealthy ones?
Would it be appropriate for a monastic to physically exercise to keep healthy?
Do monastics have access to healthcare for dental & physical checkups as well as brush their teeth, cut their nails, etc.?

Thank you for your time and may you be well.

Few can do and most can not.

Would it be appropriate for a monastic to physically exercise for the sake of retaining their health?

When you say for the sake health. Is this closer to rehabilitation after suffering a stroke or jogging for general exercise? I think this question isn't supposed to be answered categorically.

I think most monks have access to these things.
