Are you paying into your Health Pension?

We all know we need a pension to make sure we have enough money to enjoy our retirement. We put aside some of our hard earned cash every month, knowing we won't be able to touch it for decades, because we know we have to invest now to be able to enjoy our later years.

Unfortunately when it comes to making healthy food and lifestyle choices most of us don't have the same discipline. Because we don't instantly feel the impact on our health of the gourmet cheese burger we ate yesterday we underestimate the effect of our food choices on our health in our later years.

Thinking that because you feel healthy today you don't need to improve your diet or do more exercise is like thinking you can start paying into your pension on the day that you retire. The sad truth is that if you have a heart attack it is likely that you have had some form of heart disease for over 10 years without even knowing about it, which is why you need to start investing in your Health Pension today.

Every time you eat some vegetables, go for a run or skip the cupcakes going round the office you are actually making a deposit into your health pension. Once you start thinking like this, there are some very simple changes you can make to start regularly investing for a healthy future. Not only will you improve your health in future but you can even start to reduce your biological age now.
