Taking care of our health and wealth should be our first priority every day. This isn’t just good advice—it’s wisdom echoed in religious texts and the writings of successful people throughout history. When we prioritize our well-being, we set ourselves up for a life of abundance and happiness. But how exactly can we achieve this? The answer lies in a simple yet powerful shift in mindset.
Good Health: The Foundation of a Good Life
When we think of good health, our minds often drift to diet and exercise. But in today’s world, maintaining good health is about more than just eating right or working out. We’re constantly bombarded with food advertisements designed to hypnotize us into craving more. It becomes a challenge to focus on what’s truly good for us.
The truth is, good health begins with what we put into our bodies—what we eat, drink, and how much we consume. But it goes beyond that. It’s also about our habits while eating.
The Hidden Danger of Mindless Eating
Have you ever found yourself munching on snacks while watching TV, only to realize you’ve eaten way more than you intended? I have. I once ate over 350 grams of candy at the cinema—something completely out of character for me. I don’t even like candy! Yet, distracted by the movie, I finished the entire bag before the film was halfway through.
The problem wasn’t the candy itself; it was the mindless eating triggered by the screen. This taught me an important lesson: No food and no candy on the sofa table—only water.
Why Do We Buy Extra Food and Drinks?
Have you ever wondered why we often buy more food than we need? Extra cheese, extra cookies, extra cola… The food advertising industry knows exactly how to push our buttons. They understand how our brains work and how to trigger the dopamine reward system, making us crave more every time we see that product again.
That little ‘extra’ gives you more dopamine than the entire weekly grocery shopping. But it comes at a cost to our health and wallet.
Simple Choices, Big Impact
For example, I love starting my day with eggs for a protein boost. But do I really need to add bacon to that? No. That bacon is just an extra temptation—unnecessary and unhealthy. By avoiding these little extras, I save my health and my money.
Who Serves Dinner on Your Table?
Who prepares your meals has a big impact on your health. Is it you, a family member, or a restaurant chef? I cook 95% of my meals myself. I know exactly what goes into my food, how much I’m eating, and how to repurpose leftovers efficiently. This control helps me maintain my weight and health effortlessly.
Interestingly, studies show that only about 40% of the food in our refrigerators gets consumed. The rest ends up in the trash. By cooking at home, you not only eat healthier but also waste less.
The Power of Cooking for Yourself
If you can’t cook yet, learn. Every great chef started by cooking for themselves. Your mind and body are powerful learners, and with each meal you prepare, you become better at nourishing yourself. It’s an investment in your health and your wallet.
Key Takeaways
• Mindful Eating: Avoid distractions like TV when eating. Pay attention to what and how much you consume.
• Avoid Extra Temptations: Skip unnecessary extras like bacon or sugary drinks. They don’t add value to your health.
• Take Control of Your Meals: Cooking your own food gives you control over your health and reduces waste.
• Health and Wealth Are Connected: Your wealth comes from your health. A healthy body and mind lead to a more productive and fulfilling life.
A New Mindset for a Happy Life
When you prioritize your health, you set the foundation for a positive, happy life. This mindset not only improves your own well-being but also positively influences those around you.
Your wealth truly comes from your health. When you combine both, you unlock the secret to a long, happy life.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. By adopting a new mindset about health and wealth, you’re investing in a better future for yourself and your loved ones.
