Did you know that your level of income directly affects your health and vice versa?
The studies are released and the results are astounding.
One study by Jay L. Zagorsky, an economist at Ohio State University, and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth revealed that for every one-point increase in BMI (Body Mass Index), net worth dropped by $1000.
The results also showed that the typical middle aged woman earned $313.70 less per year for every one-point increase in BMI, and the typical male earned $161.30 less for every one-point increase. That’s huge!
So if losing those extra pounds may mean a bigger paycheck, why are there over 119 million Americans (that’s 64% of the nation’s population!) overweight or obese?
Although many health, diet and fitness programs do provide beneficial fitness regimes and offer healthy nutritional choices, many leave out the most important part to maintaining results long-term. That’s where fitness expert and author Glenn Hattem shares the perfect solution.
The strategy: total and complete individual responsibility.
He maintains that the best and truest source of hope for reversing this obesity epidemic is not in the current methods, which just don’t work. Instead, Glenn offers a way to create a new belief in terms of fitness, weight loss, and income by simply changing the way you think so that your new behavioral changes will last a lifetime. (more…)
