Fund Your Health by Reducing Joint Pain (Part 2) by Dr. Lisa Williams

HEALTH PORTFOLIO (H-Portfolio)

Health = Wealth

H-Asset: Joint Wealth 

H-Investment: Physical Exercise (Walking and Stairs) 

Physical exercise is another very wise H-Investment that improves your overall health and wealth. Building an H-Portfolio that includes this H-Investment (Physical Exercise) is very affordable (and in most places FREE). Inflation could be your inflammation. Just as inflation can diminish your investments, inflammation can reduce your mobility. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. In the United States, a staggering, 81 billion dollars in direct medical cost are spent each year on arthritis and other rheumatic conditions. Making sound H-Investments early on could change these troubling statistics.

Here is my H=W (Health = Wealth) formula: I try to get physical exercise by walking and/or biking each day. I walk at least 10,000 steps, five days a week. I rarely take the elevator if there are six flights or less of stairs. Stairs are a free exercise machine, use them. 

As a licensed physical therapist, I am certain this H-investment is worth every cent. Physical exercise, along with maintaining a healthy weight is beneficial in preventing arthritis. Pharmacologic treatment of arthritis for pain has a lot of side effects, whereas 150 minutes of weekly exercise combined with other H-Investments, has shown positive results for many patients. Building a lifelong fitness program that makes sense to you and your family not only makes you a more-informed investor, but could prevent well known H-Problems that may mean very expensive repairs.

Preventive treatments and methods, can save lives and reduce the number of unnecessary hospital trips, doctor visits, and/or medications. According to the National Commission on Prevention Priorities, preventive services not only save lives, but also save money. Such measures could save nearly two million lives and nearly $4 billion dollars a year!

I cannot express the importance of building an H-Portfolio that includes this important H-Investment. This is just one more way to pay your health forward by adding H-Investments to your and your family’s H-Portfolio that could fund your health. It is never too early or too late to invest in your health.
