<\/b>You get stuck in the grind.\u00a0\u00a0Maybe you are addicted to it and enjoy it.\u00a0\u00a0It’s the only way you know how to live. \u00a0You work hard for your money.\u00a0\u00a0It’s what gives you a rush.\u00a0\u00a0It’s what makes you feel alive.\u00a0\u00a0But is it also what is killing you?\u00a0\u00a0Does it make you feel alive, but also make you forget to live?\u00a0\u00a0We know you work hard for what you have, but don’t forget about your health while you are working on your wealth.<\/p>\n

In case you forgot, here are 3 reasons you should start taking better care of your health.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Your livelihood depends on it<\/h2>\n

    \"\"Recently, NFL linebacker James Harrison of the Pittsburgh Steelers signed a 2 year multi million dollar contract.\u00a0Nothing fancy right?\u00a0\u00a0Except James Harrison is 38 and has been playing pro football for over 13 years.\u00a0\u00a0This is unheard of for many football players (the average length of an NFL career is 3-5 years) and this is even more amazing because Harrison is a linebacker and constantly takes hard contact in games.\u00a0\u00a0Harrison says the reason he has been able to play so long is because he spends so much money taking care of his body.\u00a0\u00a0Hundreds of thousands per year in fact. This allows him to continue to play football, and thus earn a living.\u00a0\u00a0Do you have to spend hundreds of thousands per year on your body?\u00a0\u00a0No.\u00a0\u00a0Just remember that the more you invest in taking care of your body, the more potential for longevity you have and the more capacity you have to keep earning.<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Exercise is the fountain of youth<\/h2>\n

    \"\"Proper exercise will keep your heart healthy, your joints healthy and of course your muscles healthy.\u00a0\u00a0Proper training will have you feeling and looking younger for longer.\u00a0\u00a0A healthier, more youthful you means more lively time with your spouse, your kids, and an overall better quality of life into your older years. \u00a0It would suck if once you retired, you were in poor health and couldn\u2019t enjoy what you worked for. \u00a0Make sure that doesn\u2019t happen.<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    If a particular disease runs in your family, you should do something about it…like right now<\/h2>\n

    \"\"Disease and ailment has no discrimination, especially when the disease runs in your family.\u00a0\u00a0We know proper nutrition and exercise is the best way to prevent or delay pretty much any chronic, genetic disorder.\u00a0\u00a0These diseases can hit at anytime, the sooner you start taking care of yourself, the better. \u00a0The fact that you know that the disease runs in your family is a good thing. \u00a0It allows you to take preventative measures and stay two steps ahead with proper exercise, nutrition and making sure to go to your doctor for routine check ups.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At Laylor Performance Systems, we work with people that know the importance of their finances. \u00a0If you are reading this, you are likely one of them. \u00a0Use the 3 reasons above and make an investment in the most important asset in your life, yourself.<\/p>\n
