Nice.
Just for the sake of argument:
Anything in excess of necessity is poison. What about health ?

Jalaluddin Rumi:
What is Poison?  Anything
which is more than our necessity is poison. It may be Power,
Wealth, Hunger, Food, Ego, Greed, Laziness, Love, Ambition,
Hate or anything.
What is fear?  Non- acceptance
or uncertainty.. If we accept that uncertainty it becomes an
Adventure.
What is Envy? Non-acceptance of
Good in others. If accepted it becomes
Inspiration.
What is anger? Non-acceptance of
things which are beyond our control. If we accept it becomes
Tolerance. 
What is Hatred? Non-acceptance od
person as he is. If we accept a person unconditionally, it
becomes Love.

Loga, you've raised a very fundamental issue - the application of Rumi's quote to intangibles.
Begs the question of defining 'excessive' good health first, following it up with an assessment of its virtues / drawbacks.
If good health is to be weighed in apples and oranges, Rumi would be right.
Some other yardsticks to gauge it, even if welcome, may well be detrimental.
The wise owls of the group need to plunge into the debate!!
Regards and wishing all good health in 2017.
