Are you healthy??
Before you answer that refer to what the,
World Health Organisation has to say.
Definition of Health:
According to the world, Health Organisation,
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".
WHO
People Parade themselves as healthy individuals but the truth is that approximately 90% of the population is unhealthy, going by the definition of the World Health Organisation.
Now before you freak out, allow me to defend my argument.
Life, Time, and the Economy Is a Gigantic Pyramid Scheme where all the resources get stuck at the Apex, leaving the people at the base of the pyramid with little or nothing.
The World Health Organisation has stated that anyone who claims to be healthy must amongst all other things listed have a good social life.
What is social well-wellbeing??.
"Social well-being is an end state in which basic human needs are met and people can coexist peacefully in communities with opportunities for advancement."
Journal
(Section 10, Social well-being )
To break the definition above down to a layman's understanding,
Social well-being simply means the availability of equal opportunities to every single member of a community enabling them to access Standard Education, Quality Health Care Services, Basic needs of Man including; Food, Clothing, and Shelter.
Now when was the last time you saw this scenario play out in your Community? Everyone will agree with me that a very large chunk of Goodies is claimed by those who have money and wealth.
The poor and the middle class who make up approximately 90% of every population in any community eventually get little or no share in the existing pool of opportunities.
If 90% of the population is not socially well, then it is safe to conclude that they are not healthy based on the facts from the World Health Organisation.
With less than 10% of the population in control of the social amenities and opportunities, I am forced to Concur that indeed,
"HEALTH IS WEALTH"
since only the wealthy can access it in it's completeness.
In another analysis, I have presented the reason why I love the quote "HEALTH IS WEALTH".
I strongly recommend that you eat lots of Fruits and Vegetables. Although the later is commonly consumed as part of the daily food menu of most families, the Former is grossly missing in their diet.
People in developing Nations often complain about the high cost of fruits but they fail to realize that it cost approximately 100 folds, just to run a diagnostic assay when they fall sick, with other medical fees are excluded.
Sometime in the past, I was one of those who don't like buying fruits, my food menu was largely comprised of carbohydrates, proteins and water. Then I suddenly realised, that I fall for malaria, with every mosquito bite, meanwhile my friends don't.
When sick, I would spend approx. $40-50USD on medication monthly.
One day I decided to try boosting my immunity, so I started buying lots of fruits, and consuming them often than not....
Guess what??
The result I got was amazing. I spend $10 monthly on fruits then save $30-40USD of medical fees....
If you eat fruit, with $0.1 you save $10 in possible medical fee....... This is why this famous saying is important to me
Once again
Health is Wealth!!
So Eat Fruits🍓 and Vegetables🍀

Very informative, but the present situation of we Nigerians prevents most of us from seeing it from your perspective, plus fruits here are not properly preserved.
Yes the economic situation is bad, but it's neither here nor there...
As for the fruits, you can always get vendors who sell fresh fruits

This is very interesting .
Thanks for reading
I love this post. So inspiring and educative too. It is not until we have all the wealth before we can conclude we are healthy. Even a rich man is always falling sick when he is supposed to take care of himself.
Health is truly all round aspect of someone who is fit and complete- physical, mental, social and emotional.
Without all these aforementioned, we can't possibly say we are healthy.

This is a whole lot to digest.. Very informative. I really appreciate you for such a powerful post. Health indeed is wealth and we must take good care of ourselves if we want to be healthy..
I want to also agree with the social well being part.. Truly it goes a long way to determine how healthy we are as individuals.
Educative and enlightening. Indeed health wealth. I'm going to step my fruits and vegetables intake to practice good and heathy habit.
Nice one bro.
