You probably heard Health is Wealth right?
Other than understanding that medical bills can wipe out all savings, I really didn't get this saying. Until, I started to relook at health from another point of view.
We all like positive interest and the compounding effect of growth of our wealth and investments.
And we would probably get uncomfortable or stressed out if the debts on loans and credit cards are not cleared and the interest builds up rapidly.
Let's assume that in a situation that one has some debt, it may take him/her to commit to a job, work and pay it off and also putting some aside to grow.
This process of change is basically bringing the negative balance to a positive one.
While most of us may see this easily when it is about money, we may not view health in the same way. Perhaps we choose not to acknowledge or face it the same way.
Well, with food so heavily advertised to us, it has evolved from a survival necessity to a make belief lifestyle.
How can we resist a bountiful, colour coordinated and well plated dish with alluring scents and crispy food reviews?
Sometimes our senses are so seduced that we may even start to salivate before even having the opportunity to place the food in the mouth.
So how does this relate health to wealth?
We fall prey into the seductive illusion because of greed. We probably end up eating more than we need, with lesser nutrition food and increased calories naturally we are putting in more debt as our 'fat bank' grows.
Did you know that this 'fat bank' rewards deposit with interest too. The difference is: not many of us bother to check the scale regularly. The scale will reveal the interest thru weight, fat % and visceral fat %.
Even without weighing, most actually realise it by sense of touch. Like mmm..'hey the jeans seems smaller, I used to be able to fit well.'
Fat compounding effect is quite deceiving too, it starts a little by size then hardness. So it could be misleading to believe muscle might have built up.
Generally, 'fat interest' comes in the form of poor blood circulation, more toxins build up, more fat build up as toxins are dissolve n hidden in fats. This cycle hardens the fats too.
The Health Bank, on the other hand also provides interest too, it comes in the form of muscle building, more efficient breakdown of food and generating new healthy cells.
With new healthy cells, on the surface, one will start looking more refreshed, younger and feel more energetic to deal with life more positively.
So with proper nutrition and exercise, everyone can choose to be healthier. So which bank would you want interest from?
