Health is Real Wealth

  Nageshwar Shukla       29th June 2020

According to World Health Organisation (WHO), health is physical, mental and social well being and not only the absence of disease. Also, healthy environment is necessary in every aspect of life.

What is wealth??- “A great quantity of money, valuable possessions, property or other riches. The famous quotation by Chankaya Pandit – “If wealth is lost, nothing is lost and “If Health is lost, something is lost But if character is lost, everything is lost.

Is it true that Health is wealth?? Yes, indeed it is true, In today’s fast paced modern society, If wealth is lost, nothing is lost but if health is lost, everything is lost. We may wonder, why everything is lost, if health is lost? Since, people put so much efforts to find the sources of riches without realizing the stress which keeps building up day by day. Finally, ne day due to immense stress levels, they collapse mentally and physically. What is the benefit of our wealth, when it cannot give good health and peace of mind.

Health is wealth; Since without it, no one can enjoy anything in life. You cannot smile hearyfully and appreciate the beauty of each day and acknowledge the delights that comes with spending time with family and friends. Even for generating wealth, people should have good health and sound mind. Parents must teach this need in children from an early age. Control in food habits, daily exercise, yoga and meditation techniques can bring lot of difference in the present generation.

All over the world, there are many cases, where people have committed suicide due to bad health. Even, the most wealthy people in the world, have suffered a lot due to spoiled health. One of the interesting example of world famous dancer- Michael Jackson in recent times can give us deeper insight about importance of health. He wanted to live for 100 years, for fulfilling this dream, he appointed 12 doctors at home,who would daily examine him from hair to toenails. His food was always tested in laboratory before serving. Another 15 people were appointed for his daily exercise and workout.His bed had the technology to regulate the oxygen level.Organ donors we’re kept ready. Alas !!!He failed.

On 25th June 2009, at the age of “50” his heart stopped functioning, the constant effort of those 12 doctors didn’t work.

Finally, I would close it and say that good health should be one of the most important priorities in our life. The materialistic life in this materialistic world embraces materialistic death instead of a normal one. This is the rule of life.

It’s not a sin to be rich, but to be rich only with money is sin. Control & regulate life or else life will control you.

Have a healthy body and sound mind.....
