5 Daily Habits for Every Healthy Family #3

Everyone wants their family to be healthy.  Often that means making lifestyle changes and forming habits that promote overall health. Once you’ve decided to commit to a change, where do you start? The good news is that there are a handful of healthy habits that any family can adapt and grow with.  

Here is Daily Habit #3: Save and Invest

  

The families that build wealth together will also build health together. Financial inexperience is one
of the single greatest causes of distress in our lives. This stress leads to weight gain, digestive and sleep disorders, heart disease, cancers and many more modern day diseases. Without a basic understanding of finances, our families will experience a lot of unnecessary stress. 

The habit of saving and investing does not have to include an E-trade account and knowledge of the stock market (although it may). Simply setting a family goal to save a specific amount of money for a specific purpose will build unity and accomplishment within your household. The money may be used for any number of things – a family vacation, education, new appliance, or donation to a charity. 

Start the habit of saving and investing with your family early on for it is a skill your children need to see to learn. The purpose and passion it ignites will lead to an abundance of wealth and health.

Choosing to have a healthy family is a great resolution. Making small changes into healthy habits is the best way to see lasting improvement in your family’s overall health. Check back later this week for Healthy Habit #4!
