Hippocrates·-400 ADLet food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
Hippocrates·-400 ADEveryone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food.
Hippocrates·-400 ADTo eat when you are sick is to feed your illness.
A person should not eat until his stomach is full. Rather, he should eat until he has consumed approximately three quarters of his fill.
The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it.
Excessive eating is like a deadly poison to the body and is a principal cause of all illness.
