i work in a hospital and everyday i get to care for sick people. some people become sick even though they did not abuse their bodies but most people refused to care for their bodies and so they became sick. they get to spend a lot for their medicines and the doctors fees and their operations. truly we must take care of our bodies because all the savings that we choose to hide will be spend on that if we abuse our body and not because we want to enjoy the money anymore. what are your opinions about this mylotters?

What sort of diseases do you see for people who do not care for themselves,why do u say "abuse" as abuse is something we do now and then for others ,to abuse others or something which is not good.

some people smoke their lungs out, some dont get enough sleep and dont eat enough food even though they are able to afford it. that is what I am referring as abuse. They are not caring enough for their bodies and so they become sick.

you are right. our body is the temple of God that's why we should take good care of it. we must value it coz if we push our body to the limit there comes sickness. of course we work to save for the future but when our body got sick all the money we saved will all gone and sometime not enough to buy medicines, hospital bills,etc. thats why it is important to take good care of our health.

You are hundred percent right and I agree that one must not abuse or take for granted health. We reap what we sow and pay for the price. A healthy person is the richest man in the world because he can spend his money on his needs without being conscious. It is the best rewards in the future if we can do what we have to do and never think about getting sick or having limitations due to health condition.

Hi! This saying is really good and true. Indeed even if we do not have money yet we take care of our body and it becomes healthy it makes us happy ,productive and wealthy in a not material way.So let us take care of God's gift to us.

Absolutely right.It is better to be healthy even if you don't have much money rather than having all those wealth while lying in your hospital bed.No matter how much money you have, it will eventually be exhausted.Sometimes people literally buried in debts.So,we must really take good care of our health.

that is sad and true, a lot of people are on the hospital beds and ranting about the expense of their medicines and bills if only they were able to take care of their bodies and did what they were advised too. too bad the lessons are learned in the end of it all.

It's obvious that out health is the most important matters we should treasure?But there are always some obstacle on the way.We live for entertainment usually without being conscious that we are doing anything harmful to our own henlth.

that is the reason that even though we live or entertainment we must be careful not to forget about our bodies and be careful in using it because it is also God's gift. we must make everything in moderation because too much of something is bad.

Absolutely right, if we lost health, we lost monies, our life enjoyments and lost every things. we spend a lot of monies around doctors and hospitals for our sick, we be disable to work hard to get monies. for our health, we should perform a medical check out yearly because of the unexpected matters. I hope healthy life for all

Hi katrina eventhough how careful we are in our body there's still time for us to get sick might be the weather sometimes. But yes, it true "health is wealth". We do not need bunch of money as long as we are always in our good health and because of this...we consider our health our wealth. Good day!

to health is a priceless treasure that can not be bought with money and nothing else or you have it or you do not have. it's nice to take care of their bodies but sometimes many people overdo these things. Health is everything if you do not have a health life. if everything is lost and we're not yourself. Eden when man is sick and how much money he has can not buy health. This saying is one hundred percent correct. very good discussion. Have a nice day!

I believe that the saying health is wealth is really true. If we only know how to take good care of our bodies then we would not have any problems with getting sick in the future. When we grow older, our bodies become weaker and so, we are very prone to getting all sorts of diseases. You just can't risk admitting yourself to hospitals for it's very expensive nowadays. Even seeing a doctor is expensive. So, while we're still young, we must start taking the necessary precautions.
