HOW TO STAY FOCUSED WHILE READING 📖 Focus is a big part of what it takes to become a speed reader. If you can learn to focus better you’ll not only read faster, but you’ll do so with better comprehension.

"Health is wealth". To what extent would you agree ? The saying "health is wealth" is very apt as good health comes from a good physique that enables one to enjoy the pleasures and manage challenges of life. health here comprises the mental and the physical. Thus I agree that good health is actually wealth as it allows one lead an existence without being hampered by disabling circumstances such as disability (both mental and physical), medical conditions such as diabetes, cancer and other potentially fatal diseases.
