Your Health is Your Money Maker

Interesting fact... 61 of the top 100 billionaires in the world are 65 or older.  But why is that interesting you ask...because the people who make the most money are healthy and viable to their business.  What does that mean?? That means they are working out and caring for their health, which in turn means that YOU don't have to kill yourself working and using work as an excuse for not taking care of yourself and your health.

I'm not saying that work isn't important, it is...we all need to pay bills and maintain our livelihood, but at what cost???  I'm not sure I can emphasize this enough, because of the effects and toll that work takes on our lives, our bodies, and our minds there has to be some sort of a release available for us to maintain our health.  Nobody is asking for an hour and a half to two hours of gym time, if that's what you choose to do, more power to you but I am asking you take 45 minutes out of your day to take care of yourself.

Life is stressful, 40 to 50 hrs of work is stressful, kids are stressful, family and friends can be stressful, and any other variables that life throws our way are stressful.  Stress has so many effects on our body that we HAVE to make sure we find ways to release it.  A picture was found on www.stress.org on how the body is affected from head to toe, pay attention to what happens when you get stressed:

Exercise (cardio, yoga, stretching, playing sports), laughter, proper rest, proper diet, and interaction with friends all help to relieve stress.  Utilize these constructs to help keep yourself sane and alive.  If the richest people make time to care for their health, maybe you should consider the same...because your life is more valuable than a few pennies.
