The #1 most common New Year’s resolution is to lose weight, and the majority of those in the US are rather fluffy and really need to do it now. (Cash Cuddler included.)
Resolve to Get Healthy
Packing on excess weight not only looks bad and erodes self-esteem, it also predisposes us to harmful health conditions which are costly. Since this is CashCuddler.com, the emphasis is not on the unsightly tire that hangs over your bikini, but on how much excess weight costs you.
Poor diet and lack of exercise are leading causes of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes arthritis… even urinary incontinence. The list goes on and on and on.
The sick are like cash machines to the health care industry. Those little slips of paper known as “prescriptions” for pressure pills and high cholesterol are like gold to the pharmaceutical industry. The doctor doesn’t mind big checks from you. Do you mind writing them?
Do you want to be wealthy, or write big checks to your doctor?
Not only that, the overweight and obese actually make less money than those who are normal weight. They also experience discrimination at hiring time.
If you were an employer during these times of sky-high health care costs, would you rather hire a thin person or an obese person who may have a long list of health problems that would drive premiums higher for everyone?
Eating better, exercise, reducing stress… these are all things we can do ourselves. Those who lose weight are known to actually cure many of these expensive conditions. How much power do you need? You can cure yourself. Yo!
Curves health clubs
Luckily, there are free things around to help you on your journey toward good health. Curves Health Clubs has a very exciting special, offering new members 30 days free 50% off on memberships.
30 days is a pretty good opportunity to check out the place, get some weight and nutritional guidance and use the facilities. Lots of people sign up for exercise plans and stop going after about a month, so the free Curves offer is like couch potato insurance.
If Curves isn’t close by, or if you’re a dude (Curves is for women), Bally’s has a free January offer for new members, a 7-day guest membership.
I tried this out a few months ago for a couple of weeks, and it was kind of fun. They had a pool, jacuzzi, classes, machines and lots of toned and fit looking dudes at the reception desk.
Bally's Total Fitness
If you also smoke like a chimney, CashCuddler.com recently commented on how to become nicotine challenged and stop smoking.
Taking control of both problems – or even one of them – will put you on your way to better health and wealth for the new decade.
