Do Thin Individuals Earn More?
Do skinny people make more money?
Yes they do.
A study reported in the American Journal of Public Health (1) indicates that the healthier you are, the wealthier you will become. They showed that healthier people are more productive at work, earn more, and spend more days in the work force because they do not take as much sick leave.
The study was conducted on 2314 men and 2068 women and taxation register income data. To calculate mean income levels within these educational and occupational groups, a regression analysis was used. The results were amazing. Read on…
The study results indicated that (quote)compared with their normal-weight counterparts, obese women with higher education or in upper white-collar positions had significantly lower income; a smaller income disadvantage was seen in overweight women with secondary education and in manual workers. Excess body weight was not associated with income disadvantages in men (unquote).
An analysis noted in the Journal of Socio-Economics (2) suggested that self-employed obese women also receive strikingly lower income in customer-oriented jobs. Thereby, implicating that the pay difference does not come from employer discrimination but from the general perception of the public of obese women.
An investment in health can bring big returns for individuals (especially women), their families, and the economy as a whole. Exercise and healthy eating improve the blood flow to your brain.. And if you want more money and more success, incorporate exercise and a regular diet into your schedule.
Consider this question: What if you ate a very unhealthy lunch or snack while sitting at your desk? What happens next? Did you feel fatigued, lazy about work and uninspired? Most likely you did. But if you ate a healthy lunch and went for a walk afterwards, you would have come back revitalized, rejuvenated, thinking positively, and thinking clearly.
Take a look at these statistics
(1) People that are fit make more money

Therefore, if you want to earn more money, get a better job, have less stress and a better outlook on life, then incorporate a fitness and healthy diet routine in your daily life.
