Health is wealth
History Sanitarians originally coined the phrase “health is wealth” to counter the capitalist maxim “labor is wealth.” Because city leaders were businessmen who understood economic arguments, public health reformers increasingly gave health a monetary value in order to win over this audience and change urban governance.
Historical studies have shown that, as people's income grows, their nutritional status improves. They live longer and their children are more likely to survive .
Have you ever heard the popular saying that “Health is Wealth”? This gives a big meaning to our lives, as health is considered the most valuable and precious aspect of every individual’s life
The saying “Health is Wealth” means that health is the biggest wealth anybody can have. Anything can be achieved if we have good health. It is not enough to have money alone we can make good use of wealth only if we have good health.
Good health is not only the absence of disease in the body but a complete physical, mental, social as well as spiritual well-being of an individual.
As the Spanish Proverb says, ‘A man who is too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools’.
Health, considered the Biggest Wealth in Life, brings desired happiness, enjoyment and pleasure. This implies that health strongly influences a person’s capability to enjoy the wealth which he/she might have amassed.
The benefits of being healthy include:
All round well-being.
Increased chances of living longer.
Reduced chances of depression.
Having stronger muscles and bones.
Achieving or maintaining a healthy weight.
We must ask ourselves what is more important than my overall wellbeing? Get your early morning workout, eat healthy meals, form a healthy lifestyle and refrain from societal pressures.disposable income.
This is explainable in terms of the better living conditions available for the wealthy, coupled with better preventive and therapeutic healthcare, which means they do not become as seriously ill or remain so for as long as those who are poorer. Disability or chronic ill health resulting from such conditions may dog a person throughout life.
The effects of poor healthcare due to poverty and social inequalities may extend across generations to affect the unborn and children. For instance, a lack of vaccinations may leave the unborn prone to teratogenic infections such as rubella and measles. Malnutrition during pregnancy may cause low birth weight and developmental defects.
Similarly, maternal deaths may be higher for a lack of access to affordable quality healthcare. Increased spending on healthcare means less money for other expenses, reduced savings, and thus a state of unpreparedness for health and other emergencies. Poor health also reduces productivity, reduces earning capacity, impacts learning, and reduces emotional well-being.
Among high-income countries, American men and women live for an average of 76 and 81 years, respectively. Since they have the highest rates of injury and disease globally, their old age is medically and financially demanding. Interestingly, despite high incomes, Americans have high rates of homicides, vehicle accidents, sexually transmitted diseases, obesity and diabetes, alcohol- and drug-related deaths, lung disease, cardiovascular disease, and disabling autoimmune and joint diseases.Inequalities Breed Ill-health
Social inequalities form a powerful weapon in keeping the poor in that condition, even while helping the rich get richer. It is noticeable that the disparity between the rich and the poor has become glaringly apparent in the USA. Poor households with negative or no wealth make up over a fifth of all households, according to 2016 data, which leaves them without resources in case of unemployment, an unexpected illness, or other expenses.
With healthcare being costly, many Americans lack insurance. Even so, lack of healthcare is responsible for one in ten deaths before the expected lifespan. The problems mentioned above cause the remaining premature deaths among poor Americans. Poorer adults are likely to have hypertension, obesity, infectious conditions, heart disease, and psychiatric illness.Poverty is intimately linked to discrimination and systemic racism, that account for much of the difficulty experienced by the not-wealthy. For instance, poor or minority neighborhoods receive less investment and have lower property prices. The residents find it almost impossible to access bank loans and are at much higher risk of being unfairly suspected or treated by the police and judicial system.
Health inequalities are related to differences in the rates of various conditions like asthma, diabetes, obesity, and cancer, as well as of societal ills like violence, drug abuse, and alcoholism; to differences societyInequalities Breed Stress
Social inequalities, seen most sharply in the US among all developed countries, appear to be an independent factor that reduces life expectancy, overall You might like
