3 Smart Ways to Invest in Health 精明三招 投資健康

陳小俠

Money is a driving factor in nearly every aspect of modern life， and that includes personal health and wellness. Indeed， the sad reality is that there is a strong correlation between a person’s financial standing and their overall health. While becoming a millionaire won’t guarantee long-term health and happiness， it does provide an individual with more resources and abilities to improve their fitness. Thankfully， there are several key types of investment that people in any income bracket can make to safeguard their physical and mental well-being. Check them out here：

Household upgrades

How can shopping at IKEA or another department store improve your health， you ask？ While the answer might not be obvious， the truth is that certain household items can have a positive impact on your overall wellness. For instance， purchasing a new mattress could drastically improve your sleeping habits， which can subsequently lead to a myriad of other health benefits. Or， investing in a quality set of pots， pans， and tools for your kitchen could help you make great-tasting and healthy meals on a consistent basis.

Medical assistance

Purchasing high-quality insurance at a young age is one of the best investments you could possibly make. Solid insurance will help you protect your physical and financial well-being at the same time. However， not every medical condition is covered under common insurance packages. That’s right， you may have to pay out of pocket to receive certain tests and treatments. In broad terms， it’s usually a good idea to set aside extra cash for just such situations. So don’t assume that insurance coverage will always be sufficient to address every medical concern that you may face.

Support networks

Joining a fitness group or a virtual exercise class for a small fee is typically worth the investment. That’s because individuals tend to perform much better when they exercise with others than when they do so alone. What’s more， these support networks can help you stick to fitness routines， make healthier choices， and keep you motivated when you feel run-down. And you certainly don’t have to be a millionaire to join one！

When it comes to your physical and mental health， you can never be too careful. As such， it makes sense for individuals in all walks of life to dedicate at least a portion of their income to ensuring their short and long-term well-being.

現(xiàn)代生活的方方面面幾乎都靠金錢(qián)來(lái)驅(qū)動(dòng)，這其中也包括個(gè)人健康。的確，現(xiàn)實(shí)情況令人沮喪，即個(gè)人財(cái)務(wù)狀況與整體健康狀況之間關(guān)系密切。誠(chéng)然，成為百萬(wàn)富翁并不意味著能獲得長(zhǎng)久的健康和幸福，但這確實(shí)為個(gè)人健康狀況的提升提供了更多資源和實(shí)力。值得慶幸的是，有幾類重要的投資方式適用于所有收入層次的人來(lái)保障自己的身心健康。大家來(lái)了解一下吧：

家居更新

您會(huì)問(wèn)，在宜家或其他百貨公司購(gòu)物如何改善健康？盡管答案可能并不明顯，但事實(shí)上，某些家居用品會(huì)對(duì)您的整體健康產(chǎn)生積極影響。例如，購(gòu)買(mǎi)一張新床墊可以極大地改善睡眠習(xí)慣，進(jìn)而帶來(lái)眾多其他健康益處。或者，為自己的廚房配備一套質(zhì)量上乘的湯鍋、平底鍋和廚具，這有助于您頓頓烹調(diào)出美味可口的健康飲食。

醫(yī)療輔助

年輕時(shí)購(gòu)買(mǎi)高質(zhì)量的保險(xiǎn)是您可以做出的最佳投資之一。可靠的保險(xiǎn)將幫助您在保護(hù)身體健康的同時(shí)維持良好的財(cái)務(wù)狀況。然而，并非每一種疾病都包含在普通的保險(xiǎn)套餐中。沒(méi)錯(cuò)，您可能不得不自掏腰包來(lái)進(jìn)行某些檢查和治療。大體而言，留出額外的資金以應(yīng)對(duì)這種情況通常是明智的做法。所以，不要認(rèn)為保險(xiǎn)足以覆蓋今后可能遇到的一切醫(yī)療需要。

支持網(wǎng)絡(luò)

掏點(diǎn)小錢(qián)參加健身小組或網(wǎng)絡(luò)健身課通常是劃算的投資。那是因?yàn)榕c他人共同鍛煉的效果往往比單獨(dú)鍛煉要好得多。此外，這些健身支持網(wǎng)絡(luò)能助您堅(jiān)持健身計(jì)劃，做出更健康的選擇，并在您感到疲憊時(shí)給以激勵(lì)。而且肯定的是，您不必是個(gè)百萬(wàn)富翁便能加入！

在身心健康方面，無(wú)論怎么關(guān)注都不為過(guò)。正因如此，無(wú)論您從事哪個(gè)行業(yè)，從收入中拿出至少一部分保障短期和長(zhǎng)期的健康是有意義的。
