Health is a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in which disease and infirmity are absent. As the saying goes, “Health is wealth,” and being in good health improves your happiness levels, relationships, and overall well-being. It means when a person lives a healthy spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional lifestyle, and they become the wealthiest person in the world.
You cannot purchase or sell health, it’s priceless, but you can have it only if you work to get it. When you’re healthy, the possibility of you getting sick is lesser; thus, medical expenses are also lesser. You will have a better relationship with your loved ones and perform even better at work. There is peace and satisfaction when you’re healthy in all aspects of your being. These are the things money can’t buy.
Achieving and maintaining health is an ongoing process shaped by a healthy diet, physical exercise, and sleep. You must live in a balanced state to be at your optimal level in all aspects of your life.
