Back in college and your first decade as a professional, being able to eat whatever you wanted without gaining a pound nor feeling any negative side effects might have seemed like it would last forever…then you enter your 30s, and you realize that is not so. Going out for Taco Tuesday with your buddies and girlfriends is fun, but you may have noticed that you’re always feeling bloated the next day. Not only does indulging with street food start to negatively affect your gut when you get to your 30s, but it even starts affecting your focus and concentration, which is not a good thing because you’re at a stage in your career where you’re starting to be assigned more responsibilities with promotions to higher positions.

Good nutrition is rarely thought of as an important piece towards your wellbeing in your 20s, but as you enter your 30s and move into your 40s, you will begin to notice that there is a lot more to it than previously thought. 

The food that goes into your body matters, especially as you enter you 30s. There are three critical reasons why you need to begin prioritizing good eating habits, such as improving energy and concentration, better physical health, and improving mood and reducing stress.

Since you're officially a "grown up", now you have to contend with health-related challenges, such as weight loss or weight management, and you may notice a bit of disappointment in your doctor's face as you get your annual physical. Whether it is weight loss, eating more healthy, or getting more exercise, and doing all of those things consistently, you should feel comfortable to know that it is possible to be fit over 30, continue making your way up the corporate ladder, and still enjoy life without feeling like you have to lose your friends and social life.
