What do you think is important for a healthy life?

"I think love, work, good food and sport are important for a healthy life."

"It's very important to be happy, eat healthy food and exercise regularly."

"Family, friendship, healthy food and a job you enjoy."

"It's important to work but it's also important to play. A healthy diet is important too for a healthy life."

"I think a good job, good friends, fresh food, dancing and a lot of sleep are important for a healthy life."

Is money important for a healthy life?

"Money's great but it can't buy good health. You have to look after yourself to be healthy."

"I think money is important. But good health is more important. You can't enjoy life if you're sick all the time."

"Money's important but it's not the most important thing for a healthy life."

"Money helps you have a good life. You can buy healthy food, a big house, a new car, and nice clothes with money. But you can't buy love and you can't buy happiness. I want it all- money, good health, love and happiness."
