Does Your Wealth Determine Your Health?

Does Your Wealth Determine Your Health?

Wealth doesn’t necessary bring good health. But there’s an obvious correlation, and maybe you’ve noticed it. While it’s true that most successful persons tend to show greater concern for their health than those who are further down the economic ladder, we do have numerous evidences around us proving that there are exceptions. But the good news is that you can achieve both-health, wealth and all the happiness that come with having both. Indeed, true satisfaction in life only comes when we have a reasonably fat bank account and the good health to enjoy it, don’t you agree?

I’ll use this short article to point out several simple, easy-to-do changes we can all make in our daily routine to help us achieve good health and reasonable wealth. And it won’t be the things you’re used to hearing!

The first thing to note is that it makes financial sense to take good care of your health. The moment you start making deliberate efforts to look after your body, you’ll soon begin to feel better with yourself. That feeling in turn energizes you and affects all areas of your life. People who eat healthier diets surely have healthier bodies and mind.

In turn, a healthier mind is better able to concentrate on important things-including your business or finances. Isn’t it true that we find it hard to think straight when we are bugged down by nagging ailments? At such times, your health becomes your major focus. And how do you suppose it affects your approach to business matters? They take the back seat, and your finances suffer!

That’s on the one hand. On the other hand, unhealthy diets also affect your finances in other ways. Typically you spend extra bucks each day on junk foods and super-size helpings, which only pile up excess calories and lots of lost income in the course of several decades. If only people could’ have saved those six to ten bucks spent on junk foods each day and invested them at 5% interest per annum! They’ll be richer at retirement, and what is more, they’ll have leaner bodies and fatter bank accounts!

Did we mention the extra medical costs that accompany unhealthy eating habits? Let’s not even get started. There is overwhelming evidence that overweight individuals and all those who don’t take health and wellness seriously tend to have more doctor visits, take longer to recover from illness, and naturally pay more medical bills. You surely know that overweight and obese people cannot get inexpensive life insurance coverage, don’t you?
