Today, It is now glaring that RALPH WALDO EMERSON has not lied as far as his statement "THE FIRST WEALTH IS HEALTH." is concerned. If you are still in doubt how true is this statement of his, here are few points out of many that show that HEALTH IS WEALTH.
To start with, no matter how wealthy you are, it is nothing and useless if you lack the power button of all things "LIFE". Mind you, life is life when there is health. A person eats, drinks, moves, spends and invests only when there is life . If you have a bad health, you are like a commercial bus that is always breaking down, "it will always debit its owner's account instead of crediting it."
Secondly, as we all know that energy is the power source of all human activities, anybody without adequate energy is like a living dead human. This is because many of the task you will carry out will be like a bottled maize for hens. i.e. You won't be able to carry them out at all appropriately. Since no one can negate the fact that health pivots the energy we possess, then it can be inferred that health is the bases of all our activities including wealth since wealth is not gathered without work.
More so, You can never calculate due to its importance, the amount of money you save per day for being healthy. Only a sick person can tell you the typical cost of being healthy. That is why an adage says, Health is a crown worn by every healthy person but non knows its value except those that are sick.'' If a person is admitted in the hospital for a year, the bill paid for the bed space for that whole year is enough for an investment. If the money is given to a healthy person, he/she will make several millions from it.
Furthermore, in production, test as shown that healthy workers are more productive than non healthy workers. Even when put in the common sense , no entrepreneur will wish to employ an ill health labourer in, for his/her factory as this may affect the factory's production. This is showing that being healthy is a foundation for hard work and hard work earns one income. So if you eat in a healthy condition, you can keep earning forever in your life.
To cap it up, only a healthy person will be creative. If the body is sick, the brain will have no other aims than to get out of the sickness. So, creativity is not easily accessible when one is sick.
In conclusion, the reasons why Health is wealth are not limited to these points mentioned in this article. You can still be of help by adding your own observations too as comments and you can as well voice your view as regarding the points I had made.
