Work Hard Play Hard - Live Longer
Do you prefer to work hard, play hard and not worry about the consequences or do you look after yourself so you can live life to the full for as long as it lasts?
While healthy eating and fitness doesn't guarantee a long life, many people are living longer and enjoying a disease free old age.
Giving up short-term health and fitness and long-term plans may mean you enjoy drinking and eating what you want without worrying about the long-term effect this might have on your body as you get older - diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure.
These days - retirement certainly isn't the time to wind down, put your feet up and wait for the inevitable. More and more people are enjoying their retirement and the freedom it brings.
Children are grown up and have families of their own. They're not tied to a job and they have the freedom to travel, can spend time with their grandchildren, family and friends.
So do you think looking after your health is a waste of time or a good long-term investment in your future?

I think that looking after your health to a degree is a great long term investment. On the other hand, I think it is also very important to enjoy the moment. So, one needs to find the happy medium. Enjoy good food, drinks, and fun now, but do it on occasion or do it often in moderation.
Taking care of your health to the best that you can today is really a great investment for a happy tomorrow. Being proactive to fitness and healthy lifestyle, if not guarantee you to become less prone of getting sick, will help you enjoy a life much longer than the expected average mortality age. Just take everything in moderation, avoid too much stress and live happily as much as possible.
When we don't give ourselves time to recover from stress, we pay dearly for it. There is nothing as good as enjoying the moments we have.
