Health And Longevity - Chapter One

Man's Most Valuable Possession

Life is Man's most valuable possession, and next  in order of value is health, life is deprived not only of much, if not all, of its usefulness, But also of its joys and pleasures.
For if the body is not it good health, One cannot go about at will;He can not do what he would enjoy doing.
He cannot eat the food he would enjoy eating. A sick man not only suffers pain and discomfort himself and is unable to supply his own needs, but he requirs one or more persons to stop doing their ordinary work and spend their time in caring for him.
In this way he becomes a burden to others because they must nurse him and supply his  food and clothing.
