A Commitment to Health and Fitness Will Cost You
When it comes to keeping up with your nutrition and fitness routine it is going to cost you. Maybe it’s the guilt of spending less time spent with your loved ones. Perhaps it’s the sleep you sacrifice to get your early AM routine done or the hours you spent on Sunday preparing meals for the week. There are so many things you could be doing whether they are productive or not; work, household chores, read, watch your show, scroll your socials, or settle in for some video game time.
Upholding a commitment to your health and wellness is a job in itself own right. It’s not easy. Progress may be slow or sporadic and you may fail. Is it worth even worth it?
That depends on you but the benefits of clear:
1️⃣ Better cardiovascular health, reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancers.
2️⃣ Weight management: Combining exercise with proper nutrition helps maintain a healthy weight by burning calories and building lean body mass.
3️⃣ Increased energy levels, reduced fatigue and enhanced productivity.

5️⃣ Better sleep quality: improved sleep patterns, leading to deeper and more restorative sleep.
6️⃣ Stronger bones and muscles: Weight-bearing exercises and adequate protein intake support bone density and muscle strength, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and frailty.

8️⃣ Increased longevity: prolonged life expectancy and improved overall quality of life in older age.
How do you envision your later days? The way that many exist currently will not secure their healthspan. It is never too late to start and the best time to start is NOW!
