In last week’s blog I wrote about making investments, via efforts, to your health and fitness and the fantastic R.O.I that you can enjoy. Building upon that I want to address the magic of compound interest that you could gain or lose, because it works both ways.
You can enjoy gains or suffer loses to your health and fitness as you age.
Consider your interest and ability to complete regular workouts when feeling healthy and strong compared to illness or lethargic feelings. This compounds via the snowball effect (gains) or slippery slope (loses) because consistent resistance training is the primary factor in strength gains so move it or lose it.

Dietary patterns also have the power to improve or weaken your health and fitness as evidenced by personal experience and numerous studies. Healthy food builds healthy digestion, immune function, tissue repair, cognitive function, cardiovascular health and more. Fitness and health deterioration, on the other hand, are the result of a crappy diet.
You can enjoy gains compounded by the snowball effect OR suffer loses compounded by that slipery slope. The choice is ultimately yours.
