Health is wealth

I guess that when people are young and healthy, they do not perhaps realize what a wonderful gift has been given to them in the form of their strong, healthy body -- that is of course until they perhaps get sick and start to suffer a little because of their illness. My friend, I believe that God gave us all a simply wonderful marvel when he gave us our physical bodies. However, far too many people over the years start to abuse their bodies in a variety of ways, which eventually results in deterioration to the point where illness of one sort or another is experienced. And of course, so often, we neglect to take care of the wonderful, healthy body that God created especially for us to such an extent, that we are placed in a position where we're actually unable to work.
Now basically, when we work we acquire wealth. So it logically follows that when we are unable to work through ill health, caused primarily by our lack of concern for our previously healthy body, we will not be able to earn any money. So this quite definitely backs up, substantiates my premise in the title of today's article that is that health is wealth, which it surely is.
Now most people who have plenty of money know how to protect their money and the things that they have bought with their money, their investments. Well then, if people make sure to protect their money, their wealth, doesn't it logically follow that they should also fully protect their source of being able to acquire wealth, their overall health? You bet it does!
Yes my friend, don't wait 'til it's too late to protect your most important asset, the health of your body, mind and spirit for this is where true wealth comes from. Let's all get on a good health, fitness and wellness program as soon as possible. Let's all start to number one, eat right with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables as the main part of our diet washed down with plenty of water -- six to eight glasses each and every day; Number two, let's make sure that we participate regularly in some form of physical exercise, running, walking, swimming, etc.; and number three, let's all strive to develop true peace of mind through regular daily meditation. Yes indeed, as today's title succinctly states it health is wealth, so, protect it!
