We have trained Hindreds of Investors on Retirement Planning and Our Session Starts with the Conversation Around “Life Expectation”. How long is the post retirement phase going to be after 60?
Most investors are working hard to build a bigger corpus that can last till 80-85-90 or Till Hindred Years of Age. But are our body and habits truly aligned or prepared or we prepaering outselves to live till 85-90-100 yrs? If the answer is no, why have the retirement goal in the first place, why build a huege corpus in the first place? Why Save and Invest Bigger Amounts to Secure Monthly Income Till 90?
If you are not taking great care of yourself, if the stress levels are high, you stay very busy and there is very litle or no time for yourself for yourself then this article
Health-Worth vs Net Worth?
You may be shocked to know the way people treate their body is atrocious trust we get our body for free, it is actually very bad and I can say that if I was done. Most people are actively seeking to destroy it. The most natural state of vitality, aliveness and longevity is unknown because every person is actively engaged in destroying in destroying their body.
Take a pause and check your habits, your relationship with food and exercise and you will get your Own Answer or Look Around and Examine People Closely. I can say this trust I was doing the same, no exercise, unhealthy food habits, no fixed time to sleep and working latests. Make a list of things you are currently taking for granting.
There is really no excuse for abusing your body. Your body and your wealth are like your left and right foot on your journey to create an Awesome life. Your Relationship with your body shows how much result you hold for yourself, Taking extraordinary care of your body is the primary requirement or conduction to create an awareness.
We witness people in our life who suddenly go bankrupt (diabetes, blood pressure, etc. We get so business in our day to day life, the body becomes like a non-stop machine and in that process our health takes a backset very easy.
It has been 5-6 years Since Since Conscious About My Own Fitness and Health, I BeCame a Student of Health and Wellness, I Started Readers to My Life to Check Also of life. I am writing this article to share some of the health and fitness rules of my life.
This blog is about personal finance but trust me one breakdown in the area of health and all your wealth and the biggest of the corpus can lose its meaning.
Why take care of your body? (In the first place)
Your body is a place for you to see and experience the world. It is the vehicle which helps you to experience being done and for you to give love to other. You would not throw a television set down a flight of stairs and then expect a clear picture from it. Yet You Treat Your Body WorsE Than You Treat the Television Set and You Expect Exquisite Performance from your body.
Our body come without an owner’s manual and so you must take it on yourself to learn about how to take great care of your body. The neglect of Learning about your body is it self a way you neglect your body. When was the last time you Learned Something Powerful About Your Body And You ALSO PUT INTO PRACTICE What you Learned? Unless you can say that you do that everyday, you are abusing your body through neglect.
Check for yourself are you addicted to some substance? Are you putting things into your body which you know is digital for your body to handle? If you are committed to living an awesome life and you want to enjoy the corpus you are creating then you have to give that up, right now.
If you are unwilling to give that up, you are not serial about living an awesome life, you do not want to enjoy the wealth you are currently slogging for. It is possible that you may find this article “Interesting”, a lot of people are interested in fitness and health conversions, they read, discus and have all the world’s Knowledge of HEALEDGE of Heldege and fight and fightness. But I give a damn to people being interested, being interested is lousy.
I want you to get off your back-bus and start taking actions. If you choose not to take actions, please know that you and i are not in the same reality. If you want to get on my wave-length there is more required than passing your life being interested in living an awesome life.
Oh come on when you give-up something (laziness, casualness, habits) there will be pain but do itway. This article has to be a turning point in your life, write to me (email protected)
10 Learnings from My Personal Fitness Journey
Now, let me share top 10 changes or learnings from my personal fitness journey:
1. Intensional Movement
What is important here is the word intent, brings some intent movement in your life. From morning till night you get many such opportunities to brings International Movement in your life. I Never Use Elevator in My Office
2. Morning regime
For Years I Started My Day by Consuced Tea in the Morning, Instead of Tea I Now Consume The Green Smoothie. It has kale, celery and other herbs which helps me to rich start my day very powerful. Having a powerful gut is critical, our gut is like our body headquarter and we have to take care of our gut. Most diseases starts or are connected to a bad gut.
3. Break-up with Sugar
It was very hard for me to give-up on Sugar. Trust me it is not going to be easy to quit sugar. An Average Indian Consurations More than 70 kg of Sugar in One Year. Sugar Carries Empty Calories and puts you on a slow poison.
4. Stop Dieting
I think the word dieting is dangerous, it puts you in a temporary zone where you get results but you fail to hold on to those results in the long run.
I am not on diet, I have made some lifestyle changes which I can stay consistent with all my life. You will find many fancy diet programs and books on the internet, Trust me you do not need any of them.
All you need is, “WHATEVER WOT INTO Your Mouth Has to Be High in Nutrition”- Simple
Every Plate of Mine has – 40% Protein, 20% Carbs, 40% Fibre
5. Calisthenics
I Spend Time Doing Body Weighted Exercises, You Actually do not need Heavy Weights or Fancy Gym Equipment. Our body weight is enough for us to get the desired results. There are some basic movements one needs to understand, craft a simple daily schedule and follow it. I think every alternate day 30 min workout is all you need to keep yourself fit.
- Push Movement – Eg. push-ups
- Pull Movement – Eg. Pull-ups or hanging exercises
- Legs – exercises like squat or hinge
6. Breathing
Breathing is life and we have forgotten to Breathe properly. Three times a day i do the 5-5-5 breathing exercise. In this exercise you inhle at the country at 5, hold your breath on the country of 5 and release on the count of five. You repeat the same 3-5 times in a day. Let your college watch you, don’t think about what they will think, practice breathing as and when you find time.
7. Water Intake
If you want to enhance your fitness you have to keep yourself hydrated through the day. I think water is the key ingredient in weight loss and it help to enhance your overall fitness level. Drinking 8-10 Glasses of Water is extramely important, make this a rule in your life. Stay hydrated, have clean water and most importantly no soda or clod drinks or packed juices. They are liquid but not really good for you.
8. Skip Breakfast
For Years I was Told Breakfast is the most important meal of our day and we can’t die to skip it. Well, I did not find the same in my research, it sugges that I skip my breakfast and it has worked for me. If you think having breakfast is vital for you can continue the same.
It is also important what you eat in your breakfast, avoid cornflakes and cereals and watch for the ingredients. Do not consume things you do not undersrstand. Have fruits at the start of the day or have some hot water and lemon in it to kick start your day.
9. Weight is a wrang measure
Most people are weight watchers, they measure their overall fitness by how much they weigh right now and what is their dream weight. Your weight is just one of the measures, you have to check how much muscle mass you have, what is your BMI and other internal parameters. When you get your body profileing by you get to know about so many hidden things about your body. If you want to take care of your body, get your body profileing don once every month. You can also buy a good weight scale which does body profileing on amazon or some other website.
10. Intermittent Fasting
Fasting is truly magical, it is very powerful and it help to reset your body to its natural rhythm. Start Small, No need to go for long fasting windows, learn to first ride the wave, fast for 5 hours or 6 hours and slowly increase the window of fasting. Intermittent fasting is about giving a break to your internal machinery so that healing can take place. Instead of reading a lot about intermittent fasting just start starting.
