Healthy and Wealthy
I know many people who have very financially rewarding careers, but the time, effort and energy required to maintain their financial rewards take away from the other important areas of their life, creating unbalance, fatigue and eventually an unfulfilling life. Some people have to work so much at their job that they have no time to spend with the people they love or enough time or energy left over to fully enjoy the financial rewards. In fact, in some cases they don't have the time it takes to get the required rest to keep healthy physically. Wealth is not just about a bank balance or dollar signs. True wealth is about being healthy in all areas of life. The American writer Ayn Rand said that "wealth is the product of man's capacity to think" I agree, and I think that true health is the product of man's capacity to act. Take a moment to read Phil's blog. Here is somebody who truly understands that you can take control of your own health and wealth, and the importance of focusing on both. Read his blogs below.

Crash Diet's, Do They Work?
Diets that promise quick results cause a loss of muscle and water, this reduces the amount of energy you expend daily which means that you will quickly regain the lost fat plus more. Most diets are designed to achieve a drop on the scales by restricting carbohydrate or being very low calorie, this causes the body to use up all its carbohydrate stores from the muscle, and on average we store about 500-700 grams of carbohydrate along with 3 times that much water. With out enough fuel from your food, your body will start to convert protein from your muscle into glucose for fuel. Even if you do weigh less, you will find that your body fat proportion is higher than when you started the diet, because now you have lost muscle and your metabolism has slowed down.
