MY HEALTH MY WEALTH
Abstract
This extended analysis of "My Health, My Wealth" reinforces the principle that health, defined by the WHO as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, is the most critical component of individual and national wealth. The paper delves into the economic mechanisms by which health drives human capital growth and labor productivity. Furthermore, it introduces a discussion on the role of health equity in sustainable development and examines how modern technologies (e.g., telemedicine, AI) are reshaping preventive care and wellness management, positioning health as a central metric for 21st-century prosperity.
