Frankly, there are entire industries that provide products such as: disability, or medical and life insurance, that will see to it that if we suffer a setback of some sort and become unable to work, we will not experience great financial hardship.

However, recently, CNN Money proposed that <a href="http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/pf/0807/gallery.health_wealth.moneymag/index.html">your health is actually your most important financial asset</a>. Why? Because if you're not in good health, your career is either worthless or likely very limited!]]></description>

<p>However, recently, CNN Money proposed that <a href="http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/pf/0807/gallery.health_wealth.moneymag/index.html">your health is actually your most important financial asset</a>. Why? Because if you&#8217;re not in good health, your career is either worthless or likely very limited!</p>
<p>Indeed, God in his infinite wisdom told us this ever important tip thousands of years ago!</p>
<p>Deuteronomy 4:9 tells us, &#8220;Always be on guard for yourself and guard your soul exceedingly.&#8221; In essence, physical health contributes to spiritual health, and by keeping your body energized and maintaining a state of good health, you actively increase your spirituality!</p>
<p>Moreover, it is not by coincidence that Maimonides (1135-1204) dedicates an entire chapter to detailed guidance on proper diet, hygiene, exercise, sleep, and much more in his magnum opus The Mishnah Torah, which includes fourteen books that discuss topics ranging from Business Ethics to Jewish Holidays.</p>
<p>And yet, let&#8217;s be honest. If you are a stock broker, do you need to read the Wall Street Journal?</p>
<p>If you intend on &#8220;putting bread on the table&#8221; or &#8220;climbing the corporate ladder&#8221; it just might be a good idea!</p>
<p>But all the marketing and financial news you read should be implemented only after you have invested in your physical and spiritual health.</p>
