What if a person is working many hours to the point of losing sleep which doctors say can lead to horrible things like dementia later in life.
What if the person is doing valuable work, such as caring for elderly and/or disabled people.
Should that person still never decrease the workload, as per what the Rebbe, says in this video? Reply

in response to Pinchus:

The Rebbe taught that one's body is a precious gift from G-d, and emphasized that the Torah gives us the responsibility of caring for it. "Scrupulously guard your health!" (Deut. 4:15) The Rebbe encouraged each person to have a mashpia, a spiritual mentor. One's mashpia and doctor can help them determine how to best balance and integrate their valuable work with caring for their health. Reply
