Is health wealth? “Health is wealth” is an old saying.
What kind of wealth is health ? Health may bring that which
is more valuable than money — happiness. To be glad that
you are alive is one of the greatest joys of life. Happiness is
the choicest kind of riches.
The person that is healthy is full of “ pep.” He works and
plays with vim. He finds pleasure in work. The man or
woman, boy or girl who likes to work is rich indeed.
The ability to work may bring success , which in turn means
riches in money. But it may also bring the joy that comes in
doing something for another. To be of service to another is one
of life’s greatest satisfactions.
Health then may open the door to happiness, to pleasure in

work and play, to success, and to service for others. Surely
health is wealth. It is well worth having.
How can we have health ? There are boys and girls who are
well and strong from babyhood. Such young persons are wise if
they guard that health and do not let it slip away. There are
other boys and girls who have not had a good start in health.
Their problem is to build up their health. Whether your concern
is to hold fast to your health or to build it up, you can do much
for yourself by forming habits of right living.
Health has been called a game. Just as there are rules for
playing basket ball and other games, so there are rules for playing
the game of health so as to win. Follow the rules of the game: 1
1. Take a full bath oftener than once a week.
2. Brush the teeth at least twice every day.
3. Sleep long hours with a change of air, but no draft.
4. Drink as much milk as possible, but no tea or coffee.
5. Eat some vegetables and fruits every day.
6. Drink six or eight glasses of water a day.
7. Play part of every day outdoors.
8. Have a bowel movement every day.
The rules of the game of health are not hard to follow. Many
of them are pleasant. Let us learn more about following these
rules.
