“The first wealth is health”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Simplified Meaning:
Taking care of our health should be our top priority because it's the most important thing we have. Even if we have a lot of money or many possessions, we can't enjoy them if we're sick. For example, think about a successful business owner who is very rich but has poor health. If they are always in pain or too weak to do anything, their money can't buy them the happiness or energy to enjoy life. On the other hand, someone who might not be very rich but is healthy can enjoy daily activities, spend time with loved ones, and experience life more fully. So, investing time and effort into staying healthy, like eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep, can lead to a happier and more fulfilling life.
