Is good health a good reason to meditate?

I can definitely see meditation bringing about calm, peace, increased mindfulness, and decreased stress, all of which is bound to lead to better health! =). But now I wonder... if you don't know what you're doing you can accidentally hit A&P and then go into a Dark Night and then you'll be pretty unhappy. I think most people who just meditate are concentrating on various objects and not accidentally gaining insight, though..
