The
World Health Organisation (WHO) say physically active people save about
$500 (NGN80,000) annually in healthcare expenses. With recent trends of
shrinking economies and increase job loss worldwide every penny counts.
Staying physically fit does
not only reduce stress but also saves cash. Equally having an active
lifestyle has also been linked with a decreased chance of developing
chronic conditions like diabetes and arthritis.
Eating smarter, exercising
more, and making wise lifestyle changes, can possibly save thousands of
naira yearly on medical bills and extend your lifespan by five to seven
years.
Exercise can help you save
money, increase your lifespan, and improve your quality of life. If a
pill could deliver on even half of these promises, it would be
priceless, says Steve Vernon, health consultant.
You don’t need Jenny Craig or
Weight Watchers to eat healthy. “Simply eat out less as most outdoor
food contain more fatty ingredients like cheeses, cream based sauces,
and butter than necessary”, say Erik Folgate, health expert.
According to him breakfast
full of fibre and protein. Oatmeal and eggs have a lot of fibre and
protein, plus they are cheap to make. They will also keep you full until
lunch
Folgate also advise against
supplements, according to him they might help you lose weight quick and
stay healthy, but once you get off them, it’s easy to quickly gain the
weight back.
Any amount of exercise helps,
but more is better exercise could also include heavy housecleaning to
brisk walking to gardening. For the aged she suggests smaller, intense
bursts rather than a full hour at a time.
Just like an engine that
seizes up after months or years of non-use, the human body, with no
structured exercise, will grow old and begin to malfunction before it’s
time.
Experts say the age range of
the any population who do not exercise regularly, are setting themselves
up for an expensive future. Whether it is the development of
lifestyle-type diseases, the insidious onset of obesity, deterioration
of muscles and joints, or repeated viral or bacterial illness, the
associated costs will slowly mount up and alarm you.
Regular exercise is the best
way to lose weight and keep it off. Instead of spending money on diet
club memberships and meal replacements, go for a bike ride or a brisk
walk. That way you can lose the pounds and keep your cash say, health
experts.
While subscribing to an
expensive gym for a routine exercise, it is advisable you run outdoors
and use shape magazines as guides.
