Whatever the circumstances, family members are always there for each other to support us. Good values and good morals are always taught in a family.

> *The greatest wealth is our own health. A healthy body can earn great wealth but, a wealthy person cannot earn great health. We live in a fast-moving world where individuals have no time for themselves. Most part of their life withers away in search of materialistic wealth in order to outshine others but, along the way, they lose their health. Wealth matters, but, is not as important as health. Spending lots of money on junk food in five-star hotels or on other entertainment sources like watching films for a day and so on has no advantages other than self-satisfaction.*
Main Idea:
Health is more valuable than wealth because even if someone has money, they cannot buy good health, and chasing wealth often leads to losing health.
✔ Answer: *Health is more important than wealth because without health, one cannot truly enjoy life or success.*
