USE money wisely to have a healthier lifestyle.
Old thinking: ?I will do good on my work because my boss will treat me for a buffet when I close a sale.?
A new study published in the Journal of American Medical Association shows the importance of cash incentives in promoting weight loss and healthy behaviors among workers.
The group with cash incentives significantly lost more weight than the control group. Only 10 percent of the control group lost 16 pounds in 16 weeks.
Cash incentives given at the end of the year can motivate workers to aim for weight loss, less medical problems and better performance.
New thinking: ?Aside from improving my job, I also need to take care of my health so I get a reward from my company.?
Do it the natural way
Old thinking: ?I can lose weight by buying diet pills or try surgery to get rid of my unwanted fats.?
Quick fix strategies will never be worth your time and effort. In reality, you can get more satisfaction and save more money by losing weight the natural way. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meat and chicken, bread, rice and pasta. Extra fatty foods like pastries, junk foods, alcohol and sodas mean extra calories and extra cost. Combine your diet with physical activities.
New thinking: ?I would rather lose weight the natural way and save money at the same time.?
Good health means saving money
Old thinking: ?I don?t have a budget for fitness activities right now, maybe in the future.?
A recent study published in the American Journal of Public Health which followed 805 adults for 13 years shows that even overweight seniors who exercised for at least 60 minutes a week (walking, jogging, swimming, biking and hiking) had significantly lesser disability than inactive overweight and normal-weight seniors.
If you think that engaging in a physical activity is expensive, write down its benefits to find out if it?s really worth your time, money and effort.
New thinking: ?I will start my exercise routine as early as now so I won?t have to pay for medicines and hospital bills in the future.?
