Labor with human brain or physical labor creates wealth. Bad health means low physical and mental efficiency and consequently less wealth. If you are very sick and hospitalized, the wealth will be used in paying for hospitalization and treatment and thus wealth be spent and not created. Undoubtedly, health is wealth.
Our slogan is; Information creates wealth. You need health to make, get and use information. Again, you cannot enjoy wealth if you have no wealth.
If you are healthy then the world is yours, you can enjoy life even with out wealth, but if no health then even wealth can't give you happiness, or you can't enjoy
Pradeep said: if health is gone evrything is gone.
This remind me of an old saying:
If money is lost, nothing is lost;
if health is lost, something is lost;
if character is lost, everything is lost.
To meet the basic needs of our lives we need wealth and we can earn wealth only if we are physically sound and active. Hence the statement is justified...
If there is no health and you have lot of wealth but there is no use and no happiness. So if you are healthy then you will have happiness and that is only best wealth.
