Think about "health" from an economist's lens, one of the major themes is that health has value beyond its own "utility" value (i.e. I like being healthy, I feel good, look good etc.) because it can have an impact on one's labor productivity (or productivity in general).

Being healthy (or at least not sick) means I don't miss work/school, I can work/study longer/harder etc.

That sounds nice in theory and all, but in this class, we're all about confronting theory with data and evidence.

As you are working in jobs, what are your thoughts and experiences on this?
