How come so many people take their health for granted?

Answer:
They take it for granted because they have never lost it for any appreciable period of time.

It's just as they say -- you don't know what you've got until it's gone.

I think that we take all of our blessings such as good health, wealth, etc for granted.

We should cultivate an attitude of gratitude for everything good in our life.

i think because health is a very broad catagory like you being able to breathe is consider your health but i see where ur coming from

It's a shame, but people don't appreciate their good health until they or someone they love no longer has it.
