The link between health and wealth undeniably exists. While wealth is often attributed to better health, the relationship is hardly unidirectional. You can be wealthy and thus afford better amenities that contribute to your good health, but it is just as true that better health leads to greater wealth. After all, if you’re fit and healthy, you have the time and potential to earn more over the span of your life. Whereas wealth alone does not guarantee your health. In fact, once you’ve lost your health, there’s no amount of money that can be exchanged to regain it.
