Valuing jewellery or health?

Some time ago a local jewellery shop had an open night and many people attended.

Many of the attendees were perhaps not all too healthy looking but certainly carrying pockets full of money to spend on jewellery and other accessories that make us look good.

Some days earlier a free, well-advertised health presentation took place in Umina.

This highly educational and motivating session cost the attendees not much more than their time.

Guess how many of the community's well-dressed and good-looking but commonly health-lacking people attended that talk?

Is in fact our jewellery more important to us than our health?

How much does it cost to be sick in hospital?

Between 2010 and 2011 a staggering 8.9 million people were admitted to hospital.

For the Umina community, this time it's too late as the free superb health presentation has already passed but books are still available at the book shop in Umina Beach and the health food shop in Woy Woy.

What is your health worth?
