Mutual fund distribution is my profession, Fitness for life is my passion. Over the years while I been educating myself in the field of investment one thing that has been consistent over the years right from my college years is dedication for fitness. 

 Learning through academic studies on how to preserve and accumulate wealth prepared me to provide the guidance as a distributor and suggest to you as my client about mutual funds. Whereas with fitness which is all natural just came by experience gained by putting time and effort day in and day out without thinking what will be the gain since the ability to keep doing the fitness activity is the biggest gain of all, the nearly not explainable satisfaction that comes by doing the fitness activities which no other activity or result will be able to beat it. I will leave out the detail for now regarding what type of fitness activity I follow but try to delve upon the fundamentals that is common for any type of fitness activity.

With that in mind I would like to share my fitness experience for you to read in spare time when you are not focused on investment activity. Wealth is sometime important but Health is everything without which nothing remains important!

How do health and fitness relate to investments, and what is the link between them? Understanding this relationship is crucial, as several aspects highlight how health and fitness can impact economic development, productivity and wealth building capacity of a nation. Let’s explore these connections further.

The link between the health of citizens and economic development is significant and multifaceted. Here's how fitness levels can impact economic development, particularly in a country like India, along with some recent issues observed:

Link Between Health and Economy

1. Productivity: Healthier individuals tend to be more productive. Good health enhances workers' ability to perform tasks, reduces absenteeism, and improves focus, which collectively leads to increased output and economic growth.

2. Healthcare Costs: Poor health can lead to increased healthcare costs for individuals and the government. High healthcare expenses can divert resources from other critical areas such as education and infrastructure.

3. Workforce Participation: A healthier population is more likely to enter the workforce. Chronic illnesses and health-related issues may lead to higher unemployment rates, particularly among those who are younger or of working age.

4. Innovation and Growth: Healthy citizens are more likely to engage in innovative activities. Good health supports cognitive functioning, creativity, and skill development, all of which are essential for economic progress.

5. Long-term Investment: A healthy population can contribute to a more robust economy in the long run, as individuals are more likely to invest in education and skills, leading to higher average income levels.

Fitness Levels and Economic Development

In countries like India, fitness levels are crucial for economic development due to a young and growing population. However, several issues have been observed recently:

1. Rising Obesity Rates: Increased urbanisation and sedentary lifestyles have led to a rise in obesity and related non-communicable diseases (NCDs), leading to decreased productivity and increased healthcare costs.

2. Mental Health Issues: There has been a surge in mental health challenges among the youth, linked to stress, lifestyle changes, and socio-economic pressures. This affects productivity and can lead to long-term economic repercussions.

3. Access to Healthcare: Despite improvements, access to healthcare remains uneven across regions in India. Rural areas often lack adequate healthcare facilities, impacting overall health and economic potential.

4. Infectious Diseases: India continues to face challenges from infectious diseases, which can lead to loss of manpower and increased economic burden. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted how health crises can disrupt economic activities.

5. Awareness and Lifestyle Choices: There is a growing need for health awareness campaigns that promote fitness and healthy lifestyles to combat lifestyle-related diseases. Public health initiatives can play a role in improving overall fitness levels.

Few points on how to get started with your nourishment and fitness activity:

The basic things to be looked after to maintain the consistence is identify the best nourishment that you can have two times a day that will act as your staple food a form of base even on most busy days it would be part of you daily food intake. And also when something unplanned occurs. This will keep you from feeling extreme hunger and avoid you from having processed food which lead to energy crash after few minutes of consumption.

And maintain balance by including additional food which complement the primary staple food that will aid you to build your food pyramid, in this way your fitness and energy will be on the top of the pyramid holding you in good shape throughout the day so that you can shine in whatever activity you want to perform or simply relax with no work to perform.

After working on your nourishment can then look at the physical activity to boost your fitness. There are many options to choose from and to identify the best physical exercise that is effective in building your fitness can observe for yourself by trying few physical exercises which interests you most then finalise the best one that makes you feel better while performing and also before resting for the day that which doesn't make you feel tired, the aim is to adopt a physical exercise which will boost your fitness instead of straining your body. However when a new physical activity is performed initially it may take some time to get accustomed. 

Once the nourishment and physical activity is identified maintain the consistency and slowly make it into a habit. Good habits are the building blocks of healthy and holistic living.
