As a trader, there is a lot of ups and downs in the market, you could loose all your capital in less than a minute with just a very little analytical mistake. The importance of living healthy cannot be overstated to reduce especially the risk of stroke, hypertension or a heart attack which are all long term effect of the accumulated stress gathered from constantly monitoring the market charts, sitting for long hours and increased palpitations and heightened blood flow, which are all situations that full time traders experience.
Always try to give yourself enough time to rest, exercise and maintain a healthy diet as well a social life. All this activities help reduce stress both mentally and physically.
It is really better to maintain our health in all aspects. I don't understand why some people are abusing their body like nothing will happen to them if they continue doing it in the long run. Life is really hard and stressful but we should not abuse ourselves even if our problem is money. It would just cost us more if we are hospitalized or diagnose with some problems. If we trade, we should not put all of our money into it as trading is more of a business for me. If your balance goes negative, you will really feel stressed thinking how or if you can still recover your loss.
