The common saying Health is wealth

[pixie85]

In first world countries, health care isn't a problem at all and that is why it is an easy obligation for them to have it concerned. While in developing countries, they have problems with the progress of their health care system.

In this so called first world we are also experiencing healthcare problems.
The problems are that we all pay our healthcare tax, but there's not enough doctors who want to work in government facilities, because pay is too low when they compare it to private facilities.
As a result when you want to get checked by a specialist you have to wait for 2 months while in a private facility you'll have everything done in a week or two but that will cost you.

People face a choice. Wait for months or pay and to pay they have to work overtime because they'll pay for healthcare anyway even if they choose private care, which means they pay double.

What one is supposed to do with money if one does not have health? Wealth is supposed to be used to keep a good health and if one has a good health then one is in proper condition to work and build one's personal plan towards improving one's personal economical situation.
Look at the case of Steve jobs, for example, he had pretty much all the money anyone could dream of, but in the end he did not have the health he wanted.
He tried to use his money to continue living but unfortunately, he did not succeed. He left money behind for others to manage and enjoy, he did not take a dime to the afterlife, it is a lesson all of us should take, so we can learn to take care of our health first before thinking about fortune.

If there is no health, there is nothing.

It is very correct that health is wealth.
Most people fail to understand this and they focus more on making money and neglect taking care of themselves, they forget that money can not buy "Life and a Healthy Body".
Like the saying when there is Life, there is hope, when you are healthy you will be able to think and carry out some activities that will bring positive results and money.
Most wealthy people today have terminal illnesses and diseases, and they end up spending all their money on Medications all their lives...What can one do with money when he or she doesn't have health? No matter the money one has it can never buy their Life or Health📌

Only people who do these kinds of stuff are those who go home after work and instead of buying essential things, they choose to buy alcohol and drugs until they lose their main capital which is their health and they eventually just become incapable of working anymore because they don't have any strength to do so. In the community where I lived in the past, there were more people that are addicted to drugs which led them to become broke after they could not find a job due to some health issues. That's why, those people who look after their mental and physical health are really awesome because they really care about their future and their families.

A young entrepreneur recently opened one of the biggest clothing shop in my environ. He bought a building in a choiced area, demolished it and built the clothing shop. The shop is well stocked with clothing from different parts of the world. I was in a cab and we drove passed the shop and it was closed. The cab man informed us that the young man died yesterday. I was shocked because I just saw him recently. But the most shocking part of the story is that his brothers and sisters have started fighting over his property. His elder sister rushed to the house immediately he died and drove out all his cars. His younger brother had to change the keys of his house and took possession of the belongings. His elder brother is now in custody of the clothing shop. If you think taking care of your business is more important than your health, this might be what will happen when you leave.

This is a sad story and I have learned a beautiful lesson here, with all this now, I can consider money as my enemy, my wife, my children assuming the guy have married and have children his brother or sister will not have access to the properties but my fear is that it can also happen with my family members that's my wife and children which they will do the same thing. There is a one that happened which the father was indebted to a friend which the family member was aware but later the denied him the money and disappointed the owner of the money which is the father.

I think most very successful people do at least light exercise & eat well. To be honest I find that it’s poor or low income people who eat junk food & drink too much alcohol. The saying is true, what it the point having extreke wealth if you’re not healthy enough to enjoy it.

Though wealthy people seems to live a healthy life but I also think that they don't pay much attention to their health sometimes as if you check within our environment, you will find out that most severe health challenges are being suffered by the so called rich people, sicknesses like high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney failure, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, high sugar and so on. These sicknesses are most common among rich people as because of their luxurious lifestyle they take things that are extremely sugary and things that disorganized the immune system. Most times too due to there work schedule they don't always give their health attention as they are more focused on making money.

most of our needs will not be met without money we wouldn’t have food to eat, house to stay in and etc money is important and a lot of people strive to have money so they can live comfortably

i agree that health is wealth and we shouldn’t put aside our health for money but for people who want to live better (financially speaking) it doesn’t matter anymore they want to work hard and they will do anything just to reach their goals i admire them but i do hope they don’t push themselves to the limit and instead find a line between hardworking and healthy both physically and mentally

[Hewlet]

This is a very serious matter, op!
Most people focus more on their jobs and the negligence of their health. I have seen welders that will refuse to put on a new PPE because they are stingy about getting a new one forgetting that if they get injured in the process, they can't continue with the job.

Like safety people say, "Safety first, safety always" We need to take our health serious as any breakdown we experience as a result of our carelessness will result in damage not just on ourselves but also lost in the time we would have used in doing a reasonable jobs

In the society now most persons are only after making money forgetting that when your not healthy, you won't enjoy that same money your struggling for....like business people it's very difficult for them to close their shops to go for medical check-up because they feel they are loosing customers those hours they will stay at the hospital..rather they prefer self medication just for them to stay in the shop. What's the essence of making money without being alive to enjoy it

Your last sentence says it all ‘what is the essence of making money without being alive to enjoy it’. People nowadays value the worldly thing they are after over wealth. So many scenarios have taken place in the past and more are still prevailing daily. The saying that says health is wealth is a very justifiable term and does not need to be questioned. There is no excuse for being unhealthy when you have the means of taking care of your health, if you do you’re cherishing poverty over wealth. Self medication is bad and it is not advisable to be undergone by any but seeking the presence of a professional is the best.

Self medication is bad and it is not advisable to be undergone by any but seeking the presence of a professional is the best.

People have killed themselves because they aggrevated their health situation as a result of self medication and they are giving the excuse of not having money to take care of themselves. I believe some people have ignorantly allowed their health situation to go bad from the formation period that they would have gone for consultation and treatment and at the end they still spend same money they are running away from in a more expensive way and probably losing some vital part of their organ or eventual death. As they say, prevention is better than cure. So early detection helps to reduce severity of treatment.

The common saying Health is wealth


It really means, being part of the medical, touting the idea that you are keeping people healthy, but keeping them just sick enough so that they give you their money to make them well... which you don't, of course.

In the society now most persons are only after making money forgetting that when your not healthy, you won't enjoy that same money your struggling for....like business people it's very difficult for them to close their shops to go for medical check-up because they feel they are loosing customers those hours they will stay at the hospital..rather they prefer self medication just for them to stay in the shop. What's the essence of making money without being alive to enjoy it

Those who chose self-medication rather than going to a doctor to receive a proper treatment doesn't experience the worst yet and can tolerate the pain that they've been going through. So as long as they're still capable to work while self-medicating, they will prioritize to earn money more than their health. Not knowing in time, money can't save you once your illness is incurable and it's late before they will realize it. That's why it should be balance, even you're busy making money, take good care of yourself. Because money is nothing if you can't enjoy your wealth due to health issues.

[Publictalk792]

I agree with your thoughts on the current societal focus on making money without caring health. It is indeed unfortunate that many individuals prioritize their financial pursuits over their well being.

The example you provided about business people is particularly concerning. It is bad to see individuals sacrificing their health by  neglecting medical checkups. it is good to remind ourselves that our health should always come first. Taking care of yourself  will continue to run our businesses effectively in the long run.

That's terrible. This is most of the thing we see in today's society, that everyone should take care of their health when pursuing wealth because nobody can tell, what can befall them when they are in search of wealth.

The wealth you are hustling for, your brothers and sisters who don't know how the struggle begins, the things you went through, and the things you deny yourself of to acquire those wealth, would someday be after your wealth when you are no more, and they won't bother to ask questions of what lead to their brother or sister death.

That is why it is so important that whatever you intend to do, don't ever leave your health behind to take care of it in a day because if anything happens to you tomorrow, your brothers and sisters will bounce on your properties and misuse it in a way you won't even like. By then, you are no more to challenge or question their actions towards the wealth you labor and suffer for, to acquire.

The cure for most illness and condition is said to be sleeping well. I mean, to sleep in satin sheets, in a mattress full of 1000 dollar bills in a little mansion in a country with good private medical practice. Warren Buffet, the Queen of England, ... you know, people who always slept very well and have the right mattress full of the right materials and live in countries with excellent (private) care.

The geezer is not working his ass in a grocery store. He lets his money work for him. And nothing to worry about because even the grandson of his future grandson will surely not have to work their way up to the corporate ladder.

But look at the Korean store owner in some corner, they would rather be serving those who buy from their store. These are the ones who work tirelessly otherwise, they can't pay for the rent and will send no remittance if they sleep.

Overworking yourself and actually being burnt out is something quite common.
And the culture in many advanced countries actually seems to reward being overworked for some odd reason. People more than 100 years ago fought for a worker's right to work up to 8 yours for his salary, and now our generation's minds have been reprogrammed to be more "productive" even for beyond what our salary pays.

This is crazy if you think about it. What's to enjoy in a life if after a certain point you can't have time for yourself and your family. People just accept their fate at a corporate job and never protest increases in working hours without increases in wages for instance. Workers need to be discussing these things more. We keep working more for less and that needs to stop. If that starts changing more people will be able to enjoy their life more.

I agree with the title but talking about an average middle-class businessman, he is doing all this for his entire life with the hope that the upcoming generation will move a step forward and it also happened to few out of most.

I would like to say that don't check your body like a full body scan because it will create anxiety even though there is nothing to be worried so just focusing on a better life style is enough until medical help is unavoidable for certain medical conditions and diseases.

I mean, the rich will always remember how they live comfortably and luxuriously, they will be sure to take care of their health to sustain them for more healthy living so they keep enjoying all the good life.

Yeah sleeping is a good recipe for good health and to sleep in more comfortable mansion with suiting beds that strengthens your nerves and give you a baby tender feeling keeps you looking to do more to preserve your health to live longer.
