1. Eating healthy foods and staying fit will result in more energy that spills over into both work and play time. You will have more energy for work and be more active. Fit people also seem more capable. They are also perceived as more confident, approachable and charming.
2. Decreased illness- People who live a healthy lifestyle get sick less. They are not as prone to illnesses that can slow down someone’s energy levels. As a result, fit people complete most of what they intend to. They are not as hampered by time consuming doctors appointments or plagued with problems with their health. Active people rarely have to use their sick time and when they do, they will often use it for other means, like vacation or relaxation days. They aren’t obligated to take sick time just because they are ill.
3. Look younger- Individuals who live healthier lives are better looking than those who smoke and drink too much. Chemicals in alcohol and cigarettes dry up the skin and make people look older. Chemicals in cigarettes and alcohol decrease the number of nutrients that are absorbed into the body, depriving it of vitamins and minerals that keep the skin and organs functioning at peak efficiency.
Being young looking gives you a whole other set of advantages, from career options, to a better social and love life. Appearance counts, whether or not we want to admit it. Being young looking and more attractive can take you places. Shallow as it is, more attractive people have more choices in romantic relationships and more friends. Our society loves beautiful people.
