Wealth generally means a thing that has some money value.
But in a wider sense, good health is also a man's wealth. Probably the most
precious wealth of a man is his sound health. Ill-health of a man is a burden
to him. He may have immense wealth,
but it does not bring him any happiness if he is not healthy enough to enjoy
it. He may have intellect and learning but he cannot use them either for his
own benefit or for the benefit of others if he does not keep healthy. Now
consider the case of a poor but healthy man. He relishes his food, and derives
benefit from it. His movements are brisk
and he can work hard. It is, therefore, our duty to take care of our precious
health.
A healthy man can enjoy his life to the full. A man with a
sound body has a sound mind. To keep the sound mind, physical exercise is
necessary. The next thing necessary for good health is good food. We should not
go to the extreme in anything, whether in eating or in taking physical
exercise.
Boyhood and youth are the times to build up health. In the
natural vigour of their age, boys,
girls and young people may not feel the consequences
of their neglect of health. But sooner or later the lesson will be brought home
to them, and they will have to repent.
