                Wealth is the Basic of the Health

My answer to this question is “No”. I think if people don’t have enough wealth to support their basic lives, they won’t pay much attention to health, even they intend to exchange health for wealth. Health is surely important, but is need necessities of life as base.

没有财富，何来健康？

      I can take many examples. In the past, the living conditions were very poor. Most of people had less food than they required. So they had to work hard to earn the basic living materials. As it was known, they worked so long, more than 12 hours one day, and had no rest on weekends. Such heavy labour itself damaged people’s health seriously. As statistics state, the average life span of people nowadays becomes much longer when compared with before. This proves.

With the development of society, the whole wealth accumulates more. Most of people don’t need to worry if they have enough food. Consequently, they start to pay more and more attention to their health for they want to enjoy their lives and riches more. Under this condition, it may be meaningful to day “Health is Wealth”.

                Health is the Resource of Wealth

In my opinion, I think people can’t say that if they didn’t have the wealth to sustain it. At most, they can say that they are very much lucky when they were born with a good health and good physical foundation. But for the coming time, we should have enough wealth to keep, develop and consolidate our health.

拥有健康，财富自来

       Biologically, human being is vulnerable. We are easily going to be infected by some serious diseases or be hurt in some occasional accidents. Especially in the current society. Our living environment is being polluted seriously, we can’t breath fresh air and take safe and quality food as before. And in this competitive environment, we are all bearing tremendous pressure from all aspects of our living. So, even if we have a sound physical basis, we also need so much money to maintain or protect our health. Such as joining the gymnastics club，to see doctor or buy some medicine when we get sick, and so on. All these kinds of matters will burn our money easily.

Furthermore, as for the people who live a poor life, we suppose they have a good body foundation before, but if they cannot get enough and good quality food to support their lives, their health will be undermined. And unfortunately, if they suffered serious disease, what they can do is wait to die with agony once they don’t have enough

money to bear the medical expenditure. While a wealthy man can deal with such matters easily because they have sufficient wealth to sustain their health.Therefore, what we can say is we thank our parents for giving us a good body, but we hope that god will bless us to earn money enough to sustain our health.
