Being healthy means that you can live without any restrictions such as strict diets, without taking different antibiotics and other medicine. A healthy person can look after not only himself but also others. He can be a useful member of society.

People spend half of their life working till exhaustion and the rest of the time trying to restore their health. I think it’s worthless. Furthermore, there are some illnesses which are incurable such as cancer, especially last stages, AIDS, Alzheimer disease and others.
Thirdly, people often begin to think about their health when they have already got some problems. Some even smoke, drink alcohol, use drugs without realizing the consequences. To be as fit as a fiddle we must be in the habit of following a healthy way of life and give up all our bad habits.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that everyone decides for himself what is more important. However, it is necessary to remember that money is the thing that you can earn or borrow. But wealth is nothing without health. So we must take care of
