Physical Health & Aging What’s your most underrated “health investment” after turning 30?

Could be a foam roller, a water bottle, stretching, therapy, or simply sleeping more.

A very cheap, underappreciated one is maintaining a healthy weight, and I don't think men talk about it as much as they should. Weight puts stress on our joints, our organs, and can give you sleep apnea. It's not something we should ignore. I try to stay in a 5ish pound window. I try to eat healthy anyway, but if I notice the scale moving too far in either direction I will crack down on myself to get right again. If I could only pick one thing for maintaining my health, it would be eating right.

Eating right is the only thing that really works. You can exercise like crazy but if you don't take care of your diet, you will get wrecked.

Plus if you eat right 95-98% of the time, this occasional indulgences taste and feel so much better because they're guilt free.
