How can finances affect aging?
Surprising enough there are several ways that being financial stable can help with your aging.
Let’s start with stress. For many people financial struggles dominate their life and they live from one day to another in a state of financial stress. Stress is a killer and the longer a person has to deal with stress the more that stress is going to show on their face with worry and frown lines. Stress will affect the state of a person health too.
You can’t hope to look fresh and young when stress is tormenting your body with the extra demands that is places on your nutrition and the affect that it can have on your digestive system.
When people are struggling with their finances they often have to make choices with the food that they buy whereby cheaper less nutritious food is chosen simply because that is all that the budget allows.
Often health care is lacking due to finances and this can result in problems getting left until they have already done their damage.
Some people smoke more cigarettes in times of stress and as that is one of the biggest factors for aging, you can begin to see how finances are a big factor in maintaining your ‘looks’.
Skin care products can be expensive as can supplements and often these get missed off the shopping list when finances are tight. Even the environment where a person might have to live will be dictated by finances and that in itself can affect how they will age.
Unfortunately there are so many things that are affected by money that the opportunity to look and feel younger is also affected in one way or another by finances too.
Fortunately there are many things that can have a very positive affect on the aging process that won’t cost a dime like meditation, yoga, a walk in the park and so on.
You just have to make the most of your circumstances and be aware of the affect that any area of your lifestyle might be having on you.
