Live Longer:
You never questioned the fact that you would need to contribute to your retirement fund at work, so why would you question an investment in your health? There is a huge body of evidence suggesting that healthy living — both in terms of exercising, eating well, and staying on top of health screenings and physicians visits — can keep you living healthy and living longer! In fact, in a recent evaluation of 20,000 people published in the Public Library of Science Medicine, it was found that people who exercise regularly, drink alcohol only in moderation, consume a nutritious diet and avoid smoking can tack an additional 14 years on to their life expectancy. Not bad, eh?
Thrive Not Just Survive:
Lets face it, living to 100 really isn’t going to matter if, at that
age, you are bedridden and unable to enjoy the fruits of your labors! We
need to stay healthy so that when we’re blowing out the candles at our
centennial celebration, we’re able to cut a rug on the dance floor
immediately after!
More Energy:
It might seem counterintuitive that when you are feeling fatigued,
you should go exercise, but the reality is working out – be it a quick
walk around the block, participating in a yoga class or embarking on a
solitude hike – can give you the kick that you need to keep going
through the day. The reason? Exercise stimulates the release of
feel-good endorphins that not only make you feel better but also up your
energy levels.
Avoid Disease/Illness:
In addition to keeping you looking good, regular exercise and a
healthy diet can help reduce free radicals as well as promote the
release of toxins associated with disease and infections. A healthy
lifestyle helps stave off hypertension (high blood pressure), promote
healthy cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of diabetes, and keep your
ticker in shape!
Keep Medical Costs Down:
When a study came out in recent weeks suggesting that obese people
are cheaper to treat than healthier weight people, the scientific
community was up in arms! The study,
conducted by researchers at the National Institute for Public Health
and the Environment in the Netherlands, suggested that since healthier
people tend to live longer, their medical costs were higher. However,
the researchers acknowledged that the cost per year was far higher for
obese people than their thinner counterparts up to age 56 and that the
extra cost for healthier people was associated with “life years gained.”
Our verdict? It’s better to live longer and spread out all those
physician visits than shun the healthy lifestyle and pass your days
sitting around in the doctor’s waiting room!
For your Kids and Grandkids:
For many of us, we want to be there for all of our children’s
milestones — the proms, graduations, weddings and births of your
grandchildren — and for others, well, some others just want to be there
so that when said grandchildren use their apple sauce to reupholster the
fancy couch they can chuckle softly to themselves and let out a hearty
“I told you so!”
Empowerment and Confidence:
Remember the way that you feel after completing that long run? After
lifting your personal best at the gym? There you are sweaty and worn out
and still feeling so darn good! And that feeling carries over and
translates into the way you present yourself as well as how you are
perceived by others.
Look Better:
There’s a mountain of undergarments — for both men and women — that
can help you look better in your clothes, whether its padding out
certain areas or sucking in others. However, when it’s you and only you
filling out those jeans it just feels so much better. In addition,
leading a healthy lifestyle can also improve the appearance of your
skin, teeth and nails and give you that certain glow that makes you look
great!
Better Mental Health:
In a study
conducted by researchers at Duke University it was found that
exercising for 30 minutes, three times a week can help an estimated 60%
of patients overcome their depression without using anti-depressant
medications. In addition, exercise can give you the time you need to
relax, take a break and deal with the problem at hand!
Better Sex:
Did you know that one of the first signs of blood pressure troubles
in men is uhh… failure to stand to attention? Yep, if your body isn’t in
shape, it shuns extra-curricular activities – such as sex – to protect
you and allow the body time to recover. However, in a study of 600 men
conducted by researchers at Boston University, it was found that a brisk
2 mile walk per day
can significantly reduce the risk of erectile deficiency (ED). Healthy
eating can also lead to better sex. For example, a diet rich in
heart-healthy Omega-3’s (from fish, leafy green vegetables) and foods
rich in L-Arginine, such as cashews, walnuts, root vegetables, garlic,
ginseng, soybeans, chickpeas and seeds can help boost circulation and
thus improve erectile response.
