Do you believe in HEALTH is WEALTH?

November 15, 2010 12:08am CST
I have a new friend who is also member of Church of Christ. She tell me that her mother in suffering a high blood which is they need to spend $190-200 once or twice a week to survive. In four times a month they made $760 in a month or $1520 just in a month. That's why as early as now i tried to live in a healthy lifestyle and to be more conscious on what i eat. And this is what i am doing. http://www.perfectdiet.multiply.com Thanks for responding!

Yes, fully agree with you that Health is Wealth..If you are fit you could do take up anything , as the time demanded ..and on the other hand, if you are not healthy ( phyical or mental ) ..you will be just living a life but not enjoying the life.. So, I too would suggest all to act now, ( this is not late ) to yourself fit for the time to come. Good Wishes.

Yes some people who is suffering any grave illnesses are not fulfilled and happy in their life. If you are rich an has everything in this life. Better to be healthy and enjoy life with family and friends than to have all expensive things and leave the world at early age. All we have to do is to live with the healthy foods and right nutrition.

I appreciate the effort of health consciousness. This is a nice thing to know especially knowing that health is important. You can't get a job without a good health. You can't have a healthy family if you yourself are suffering from a grave illness. That's why I think health is important.

Its much better to take good care of our health as early as now. So while im still young im trying to be healthy like my mother. I have to eat lots of fruits and vegetables each day than soda, and junk foods. I dont like to suffer any illness. Much better to be secured than too late to realize. I want to live longer. Like our grandparents and great grandparents who live 80-100 years old.

Having good health is indeed wealth as one needs not spend on medical care. The amount saved is equivalent to wealth gain. A healthy lifestyle is indeed recommended. This involves having proper nutrition and adequate exercise.

Yes people do all of this but sometime really get lazy in doing this and really dont know how to get started. People are now aware and knows what is good and bad to our health but still getting sick. Its because people are not really conscious and have not enough knowledge about health. Not all about health but the good NUTRITION. Check this out http://perfectdiet.multiply.com

Health is definitely wealth. going to the doctor for a checkup and then hearing that I have a clean bill of health is more than money in the pocket or account to me. First of all it means that I will not have to deplete savings to try and correct an illness. The story of your friend says it all. It is expensive and worrisome to be sick. In relation to your link actually like the herbalife shakes and the teas. They can be a bit pricey but then too so are medications so when I can afford to get so mething I consider it a treat to myself. There are other products I want to try out but all in good time.

I just had the shake for the sake of having it. I do not have a weight problem which is good. I enjoy having it because it taste good and you really get the sense of having a healthy and fulfilling meal.
22 Nov 10
So have you tried to use Herbalife shake and tea before? Yes for me it is really a natural food medicine. Before im so ugly. very thin and i have lots of pimples on my face. But after gaining weight and use herbalife i improved myself confidence in being me. Now this is my business and trying to help people who might want to improve their health and lose some pounds or gain their weight.

Important thing is eat a lot of vegetables, drink plenty of water and always have time to jog or walk or just do any form of exercise. You'll be in good shape eventually.

Yes just live in anything that you think is natural and can help with your health right now. Do anything for the sake of your health, family and friends. Life is so wonderful to live with. So enjoy your day especially with your love ones. Sleep early, eat nutritious food, drink more water, have physical exercise, and so on. A very goo choice that everyone have to invest.

Yes, I would say that it is always a good idea to look after your health in mind and body especially when you are young. I know so many people I was in school with who drank and ate too much on our journey through life, and now some of them are on permanent medication and in pain quite a lot. I wouldn't say that any of us have financial difficulties or are poor, but I would rather have little money and good health, than lots of money and poor health. Since I have been in my mid 20s I have always made sure that I have eaten plenty of vegetables and organic food when I could get it. I do have an inherited blood-clot condition that caused a heart attack a few year ago, but because of my diet and the fact that I meditate every day, the doctor's told me that I have kept my blood pressure and heart rate normal. _Derek

Same here. Were not rich who have all of the material things in life and still seeking opportunity to earn more and buy all of the things i never had and i want. Were so lucky that even if were not that rich we are healthy and living with nutrition. Most of the time we often eat vegetables. My mom love to plant vegetables in our backyard so we also save money. Then if you buy organic food in the market it is more expensive too.

hi daiweian ues without good health we cannot work and get paid so we can support ourselves or our families. so the healthier we are the better off we will be in all ways.Also being ill is very costly now days here in the US and also all around the globe . for some reason health insurance comp anies here are way too greedy that a low or even middle class people find it hard to come up with monthly p yments.and yet without health insurance many people go without medical care. Yes we must eat healthy to stay and be healthy and so much is up to us to chose our foods wisely and prepare them in a healthy way.
22 Nov 10
Yes we have to choose healthy foods. And be conscious on what we are eating. As Mcdonalds grows faster and any food chain so that we are more prone to have any illnesses. Better to prepare foods at home than to eat outside. More delicious more MSG. It is also a big help if we will drink lots of water each day to wasged out all our toxins. but use cleansing Tablet. http://www.perfectdiet.multiply.com

Yea absolutely. No matter what, if you're unhealthy, the amount of money will be drained away due to your illness. That's why it's better to keep a healthy mind and body for you to be able to earn more money.

Without health there can be no pleasure of wealth. How a lot of times have you heard some very rich people say they would give it all away if they had their health? It's not amusing to suffer in pain, or to not be able to do the things you were once able to do. Also, in the continuous pursuit of wealth, some people will risk there very health.

Well, take Michael Douglas for instance, he has a lot of money, but he also suffering from Cancer, and other sickness. So, even though he has a lot of money, he is still suffering from health issue too. Don't you think?
20 Nov 10
yes. If you have everything its useless if you cant enjoy having all of it. So as soon as possible better to be conscious on our health that too late. Our health is our wealth. We can enjoy everything in this world. Eat the food we love, travel around the world, to be with the people who you know and so on. Life so short.

This statement is definitely true. What do you have if you don't have your health? Money isn't everything!
21 Nov 10
So far in terms of Health if we take good care of it we will enjoy this life. We can do everything that we want to do. eat the food we really love. We can still eat everything even junk just moderate and not really regular. Occasionally, but we take it many times it may be harmful.

Yes, I do believe that. Health is our most precious wealth. Without health, we can't make a cent. Imagine we are sick, we will spend much money to recover. But If we are healthy, we can do whatever we wanna do. So many people forget that simple things, including me. We will realize the importance of health only when we get sick.
21 Nov 10
Simply if we are sick we spend lots of money to get rid any illness. Especially if Cancer. This is just for the Rich people who can spend much as they can just to provide any chemo therapy not just once but many times. We can save lots of money if we live healthy. That's why we have to invest some effort and money just be healthy. Healthy living is the answer.

The saying ' HEALTH IS WEALTH' is genuinely true for me too. My parents were both stricken with the dreadful cancer disease and the medical bills just wouldn't stop and it even escalates as the cancer progresses to its peak. Doctors advices and recommendations are nonetheless expensive too if we are talking about chemoterapy, cobalt or radiation. what choice do you have but to submit to this treatment if it will alternately treat them. In our case, we have been following a healthy lifestyle but unfortunately our family has cancer history so that is where we get it.
17 Nov 10
As what i heard in some Doctors. It is not necessary hereditary disease. But all their eating habits and recipes about what they eat is transferred into you. I heard that its all about nutrition and food. So be careful on what you are eating right now. Live healthy life. Keep yourself healthy to stop that family cancer story. Just make a research on how to avoid having cancer in good nutrition.

i totally agree with you... our health is our biggest asset and without it, we can't do anything... that is what my parents always tell me... and that's why i also try to live a healthy lifestyle now and watch what i eat because the food i eat will directly affect my health... thanks for posting the link to show us how to diet... take care and have a nice day...
17 Nov 10
Sure you're welcome. I owe everything in Herbalife. Because they teach me about my health. If i dont have them still underweight and looks like nothing to eat healthy foods. Now im just maintaining my health and weight. Thanks to Herbalife! Yes you cant do everything if your suffering from any illnesses. Im just so lucky to have a parents who knows a lot about nutrition. They teach me how to eat veggies and good foods which is the natural.

A good health is truly a wealth. Many individuals with poor health or those who suffered from grave diseases spends thousands of money just to be cured or at least lessen the pain their experiencing. That's not the end of that,they also cannot have a normal lifestyle wherein you're just relaxing everyday. They have to think about their condition every time, monitor their medicine intakes and cannot do all the activities that will affect their health conditions. Just by being healthy, you could have the great chance of struggling in almost any kind of life situation, you have the edge and you could use it to improve your life. Lastly, happiness and success will be much easier to attain when you're healthy. Have a nice day ahead!
17 Nov 10
Really thousands of money to support their health. Actually they dont need to do that if they really understand nutrition. So while your kids are still young teach them to choose healthy foods. Teach them the right food that their body need not the junk foods and soda. Also try to avoid eating in any fastfood chains. We all know that they are still growing. That's why as early as a baby they are prone to any illnesses. And some lost their love ones in young age.

Yes I believe that health is still our wealth. Imagine those kind of money being spent just to survive. By this it is really evident that when you are sick you will lose all your savings from it. Thank you for the reminder.
17 Nov 10
Yes im just here to remind you everything. That you all guys love and be a blessing to others. Be conscious on what you are eating. Eat nutritious food and feed your cells with the nutrition that we need.

I believe so mate, because no matter how much you have wealth now, it would still be possibly gone if your health fails.
17 Nov 10
Its really possible to lose all your properties and assets just to bring back your health. Taking your time just to be wealth is not enough. You also have to take time for your own health
• Philippines
16 Nov 10
Of course! No matter how much you earn, if you'll use it to pay your hospital bills then it's worthless. Health should be above all.
17 Nov 10
I agree! Hospital bills are so much. We will lose everything just to pay for it. And if our savings are not just enough we even lose our assets and love ones. So be careful and watch your food intake. Better to take care of it than none at all. Let us enjoy our life with our family and friends. So now we have to read more about health to know more. And teach our future family for them to live longer too.
• United States

Your reasoning is correct. Healthy life styles will limit an individuals hospital visits, expenses, and promote well being. The sole reason for such high costs is usually disregard for one's own health. With this careless approach, such a person may eat more than he/she requires, or not care in cleaning themselves. The monthly budget she has for medical expenses is unbearable when comparing her life without such high medical bills. People should know health is wealth because life too is a great investment that needs constant care and nurture. Hopefully people will learn from such tragedies and increase awareness about the cause of many sicknesses. I appreciate the health discussion you have started, as it reminds me living more healthily.
17 Nov 10
yes its true. We have to increase our awareness in good nutrition and health. Get started to be conscious in food, health with our family as well. Lets promote well being with all the people we are concern and love. And be grateful i we are healthy and still living with our love ones. Dont lose them because of their condition and health. We have to invest with our health too for the real meaning of success and happiness.
