Why Your Health Is Your Wealth

‘Health is Wealth’ Proverb means that the state of well-being, free from disease or diseases, both physical and mental is indeed wealth. The Adage is an ancient one, as can be observed from a great Classical Rome Poet, Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro) Saying - ‘The Greatest Wealth is Health’. Virgil is considered to have suffered bad health throughout his life and perhaps it is possible that the status of his health inspired him to introduce this proverb as a word of advice for the coming generations.

Similarly, a Spanish Proverb goes like this – ‘A man who is too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools’.

REASONS WHY HEALTH IS WEALTH

1. MEDICAL BILLS ARE EXPENSIVE.

Healthy people save money on medical costs. Sick people spend their hard-earned cash on medical bills rather than on things they enjoy. Are all injuries or illnesses preventable? Of course not, but neither is the stock market tanking. If you set yourself up for success, the impact of unforeseen events won’t take everything off track.

2. HEALTHY WORKERS ARE MORE PRODUCTIVE.

When we are in good health, we can work more productively. Studies have shown that people in good health are able to earn more money and work more productively. If you’re kinder to yourself, you’ll be kinder to those around you.

3. FEELING GREAT GIVES YOU CONFIDENCE.

When you have a high level of well-being, you will also tend to have a confident and go-getting attitude which will enable you to succeed in all of your aspirations.

?4. HEALTH INSURANCE BECOMES MORE EXPENSIVE.

Health insurance in developed countries is already an astronomically high expense. Constantly being seen by a medical professional will only skyrocket those costs and take money away from achieving your financial goals.

?5. EXERCISE IS FREE.

Any good businessperson will tell you that if you pay nothing and get plenty in return, you have made a great deal. Exercise like jogging, yoga in your front room, or dancing is totally free and yet it significantly enhances your physical and mental health and thus your material wealth. There are also many free resources and fitness coaches online that can be streamed on YouTube. Challenge yourself today!

6. HEALTHY PEOPLE CAN STAY PRODUCTIVE FOR LONGER.

Making money takes energy, so healthy energy levels are often necessary. If you cultivate good healthy habits, you can keep earning money later in life.

7. HEALTH BOOSTS YOUR BRAIN POWER.

Foods rich in zinc, omega fatty acids, and other vital nutrients keep your brain working to its highest potential.

?8. HEALTH IS AN INVESTMENT.

You may spend money on sneakers, smoothies, supplements, and so on. But, this is an investment that could pay dividends for you down the road.

For the majority of us ‘Wealth’ means having lots of money, a big piece of land, jewelry, cars, a farm, a flat, a house, or any property which has the potential of having a monetary value in the market. But this limits the scope and vision of the term ‘Wealth’, though, in the conventional sense and dictionary definition, it is very much apt. But if we broaden our thinking and look beyond our limited vision towards ‘Wealth’, we will see and witness that, wealth is not just only what is being said about it.

To better understand this, let’s observe our own lives. We study at school, or college or have a profession and the ‘Knowledge’ and ‘Experience’ gained in this environment is also a ‘Wealth’, though you cannot touch or feel ‘Knowledge’ and ‘Experience’, like currency. Here, it is a wealth in the sense that it has a value that is practical, respected, and admired in various social environments.

Moreover, you can also create more wealth with the application of ‘Unconventional Wealth’. Amongst various forms of such Unconventional Wealth comes ‘Health’ which is by far the most important wealth one can have, more or less at the same level as that of ‘Spiritual Health’. This brings to light, the fact that ‘Wealth’ is actually dependent and linked with ‘Health’ in more than one way, a simple example is that - if you are physically and mentally ill, you will not be able to work properly or not work at all. And if you cannot work in the desired manner you will not be able to acquire the desired amount of wealth.

It cannot be said conversely about health being dependent on wealth, simply because to be healthy, there is hardly any capital involved unless you pay to be trained for remaining fit. Having proclaimed that it is not wise to be ‘Unwealthy’ to be ‘Healthy’, i.e. don’t get obsessed with health to such an extent that it becomes a hindrance towards your productive capacity for wealth.?

Health is as much a wealth and an important one, whose value is comprehensible by those who actually consider it a wealth and not just a fad. Those who have not realized this need to think harder.
