Which of the above sounds right and good to you? Thanks.

Nothing is as(so) important as our health.
The first sentence is incorrect. Maybe like this: Nothing is more important than our health.

Thanks, Harry.
Based on your reply, the first sentence is incorrect because of the adverb "much" being there. Could you explain why "much" must be deleted to make the sentence right?

Don't you know that much isn't used with adjectives in their positive degree? You can use much with adjectives in their comparative degree.
For examle: much more beautiful, much bigger etc.
