If you ask most people what their most important investment is it is doubtful that many will respond that it is their health. In fact the way most people spend their time and money it would be hard to make a case that health is even in the average person’s top ten. But your body should be your most important investment because if your body fails you and you die then none of your other investments make a bit of difference. An eastern spiritual leader in commenting about the stupid way that most people live in regard to their health accurately said that the average person today spends their health to get money and then spends all their money attempting to restore their lost health. Your health is precious and should be your top investment and one of the best ways to improve your overall health is by losing excess weight. So many of the common health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol, arthritis, diabetes, depression, etc, are closely linked to being overweight. Not only do such ailments cost you a lot of money but they drastically reduce your quality of life and ultimately shorten your life. Start looking at losing weight as your most important investment and you will have a lot more motivation to do whatever is necessary to see that it is ultimately your most successful investment.
