Things I Learned from My Grandmother (#2): Health is the most important thing

Although my grandmother lived to be 100 years old, she always said that health is the most important thing, and that you don’t want to live to be 100 just to be 100 if you’re in poor health. I remember watching her take vitamins almost by the fistful and swallow several at once. And she always knew the health benefits of whatever she was eating. Bitter melon is a good source of quinine, which has medicinal qualities. 

Good health is the one thing that makes all other things possible.
