Spending on food has fallen to 9.9 percent, while spending on health care has climbed to 16 percent of national income. I have to think that by spending a little more on healthier food we could reduce the amount we have to spend on health care.
I could not agree with this more. Investing in your health upfront will eliminate future costs that could far outweigh the initial investment. This is why I spring for the higher cost of healthy food, gym memberships, and regular athletic massage. I'm caring for my body in such a way that healthcare costs will be minimized in the future.
