YOLO: Finding Balance in Health and Wellness

We All Know That Saying: Prioritize Your Health

If you’re using “YOLO” as a way to justify your eating habits, then consider applying the same mindset to your physical health. You get one body, so treat it well. Regular exercise is an investment in your future self.

The Real Life Physical Pension

Keeping active is like paying into a physical pension that keeps you feeling younger. Exercise can fend off diseases, mitigate physical decline, improve posture, prevent muscle atrophy, strengthen bones, and enhance flexibility.

Balance is Key

Life is for living, and it’s not about being YOLO all the time; it’s about balance. It’s totally okay to enjoy a takeaway once a week or savor a coffee and cake. The all-or-nothing mentality leads to food being seen as the “bad stuff,” which is unhelpful.

Make Conscious Choices

Making positive decisions consistently, whether over a week, a month, or even six months, leads to a healthier lifestyle for you and those around you. There shouldn’t be a split between “diet foods” and “non-diet foods,” as lifestyle choices make results sustainable, unlike yo-yo dieting.
