What is a good translation for the Russian proverb "здоровье в порядке спасибо зарядкe"?

My health is good, thanks to morning exercises. :)

similar one in english:

"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."

As far as I am concerned this is actually not a proverb but rather a slogan which was spread during the Soviet times to promote the idea of morning exercises ("зарядка"). The soledad's translation seems to be exact :)

usually used with ironic undertone as an answer to polite routine quiestions of 'how are you' type, something like this:

- Hi, how are you?

- Never better! (muttering "what do you care?" under one's breath)

Wrong. In Russian the proverb you mentioned is "Кто рано встаёт, тому Бог подаёт".

Thank you for the direct translation. However, I did not claim that my proverb was the direct translation of the one the original poster provided; I said that they were similar. I suggest you check your tone.

"Всё в порядке, спасибо зарядкe", not здоровье. Never heard it with "здоровье" in real life :-)

While literally it means "I’m fine, thanks to the morning exercises", the morning exercises are there just for the rhyme. This is not at all a sign of sayer doing any morning exercises ever. Saying this one would not even think about exercises :-)

It’s not about health, howeven it can be used when asked directly, like in "Как здоровье?" - "В порядке, спасибо зарядке". And even in this case it would not be related to real morning exercises much.

I don’t know of any English rhymed saying which is used as a reply to "Hey how are you?" to mean "I’m fine" :-)

Wrong again. ) This means "Рано в кровать, рано вставать, горя и хвори не будешь знать".

Not exact again. The English proverb says both about the health and the wealth.
Two of the three Russian proverbs say about health only, the remaining one says about wealth only.

On the other hand, I've never heard it with "всё", only with "здоровье".

Of course. ) It's impossible to translate such thing absolutely correct following the rhyme.
