This passage has always been passed from generations to generations, and has always been our reminder for taking care of ourselves. We may wonder why is this so? Why is health already a wealth? What does it portray, or let us say what meaning do it correspond that we all believe on it. Well, in the remaining exposition of that thing and by its letteral meaning, I would say its because health is mainly our capital on everything that we do to achieve wealth, and it would of course be done by working. Definitely you cannot work well when you are ill, you cannot make money when your nerves aren't working. Thus achieving wealth involves maintaining a good health. Wealth means good health. Is this the only reason? What else! When do you we say Health is a real Wealth?...Ride on!...

I realize that health is the real wealth every time I see someone with a terminal illness; when I read in the paper that someone younger than myself has passed away and when I see people who because of illness have little or no quality of life. To me it means that no matter how much money you have, nothing is more precious than good health. IMHO it has no connection to financial wealth.
