Being healthy saves time and money

People ask me very frequently, why don’t you color your hair. Female friends, when they visit me at my home get surprised to see that I don’t own any makeup, that I don’t ever apply makeup, that I don’t have a hair dryer, or hot iron or any hair maintenance products. I get my eye brows done once a year and hair cut once a year. People including my husband thinks I am too careful about my choices of what I eat and how much. My husband many times say I am obsessed about working out everyday, that I am obsessed about my body to look certain way. I am definitely obsessed about four things,

1. What I eat
2. Exercise at-least 6 days a week
3. Keeping my vitals signs in healthy range
4. The way I want my body to look.

Spending 6–7 hours a week in gym and eating healthy does following for me

1. Save money that I would spend on buying makeup to compensate for my looks if I had not been working out.
2. Save time I would spend everyday, multiple times during day to look what I am not by applying makeup.
3. Save money I would spend going to doctors because I would get sick more often.
4. Recover fast from sickness without making a trip to doctor (most of the time)
5. Save money I would spend on buying medicine
6. Saves me from stress of having bad vital signs
7. I fall asleep fast and I sleep much better.
8. I am happier when I follow the regime because I know I am taking care of myself the way I should.
9. I like and appreciate myself more
10. It helps me have a peaceful mind.
11. I make better decisions
12. I am able to do my job better
13. I don’t get angry much and even if I do, I don’t react or respond based on my anger.
14. My skin is healthier.
15. My hair are healthier
16. I can wear anything I want to without worrying about hows its going to look
17. I dont need to buy body shapers to be able to wear something and look good in it.

I don’t care if I have too many gray hair visible, I don’t also care if the spots on my skin are visible because I don’t apply makeup, I can’t change the way I was born but I can definitely change the way my body and mind changes or stays.

Everyone spends money and time on what’s important to them. So if you are spending your money and time on buying and applying makeup, coloring hair, and eating food you love, that is perfectly fine too because that’s what you value more and I respect your choices. I have made different choices because I value them more. They help me become a healthier, happier and better person.
