In a word, yes.
Cara here from Strip That Fat. I know you this may come as a bit of a shock to you, because I definitely found it quite revealing.
A study recently published in the British Medical Journal finds the healthier you are, the richer you will become. Researchers examined the link between health and wealth in rich countries, and found that healthier people are more productive at work, earn more, and spend more days in the work force because they don't take as much sick leave.
A population-based survey was performed on this subject, including 2068 women and 2314 men with linked income data from a taxation register. Regression analysis was used to calculate mean income levels within these educational and occupational groups.
The results were fascinating...
Compared with their normal-weight counterparts, obese women with higher education or in upper white-collar positions had significantly lower income; a smaller income disadvantage was seen in overweight women with secondary education and in manual workers.
Excess body weight was not associated with income disadvantages in men at all?
How is that fair to women?!!?
It may seem obvious, but an investment in health produces big returns for individuals (especially women), their families and the economy as a whole. I do not think that this is fair one bit, but it is something that we all need to consider as the study doesn't lie.
Exercise and healthy eating improve the blood flow within the most vital organ to your success...your brain.
You, like all of us, most likely want more money and more success, but the very first steps should be incorporating exercise and a regular diet into your schedule.
Here is a quick question for you:
Have you ever been at work and eaten a very unhealthy lunch or snack while sitting at your desk (99% of you are answering yes right now, we all do it).
What follows this snack or meal however, is what we are talking about...
Did you feel lazy, unexcited about work and uninspired?
Chances are you did.
Let's look at this from the other angle. What if you ate a healthy lunch and went for a walk. I bet you would have come back rejuvenated, thinking in a positive manner, and thinking clearly.
Here are couple interesting stats:
(1) People that are fit earn more money
(2) People that are fit get better jobs
(3) People that are healthy typically experience less stress
(4) People that are fit have a more positive outlook on life
So, if you want more money, a better job, less stress and a better outlook on life, you should incorporate a "fitness" and "health" routine in your diet.
Take care and have a great day!
