I am not sure I understand this. Do you mean that people with overabundant love for other selves would have less health? In that case, what makes you to think that? How did you come into this thought?
The realization that self is other is reciprocal: other is self. However one serves others, one must also serve self to be in balance. I think this is what Turtledude is saying: too much care of others and not enough of self is out of balance.
Also, New Agers tend to say things such as: the body doesn't matter, we are just light. I disagree. We are all things, and particularly since we chose to be here we chose this existence which includes a body. Respect the body, be a good caretaker, and also show the same respect for others.
