-400 AD·Kos, Greece
Maimonides·1170As long as a person exercises, exerts himself greatly, does not eat to the point of being overly full, and keeps his bowels soft, illness will not come upon him and his strength will increase.
Plutarch·100 ADAn immoderate diet is unhealthy, but a temperate one preserves strength.
Maimonides·1170Anyone who lives a sedentary life and does not exercise, even if he eats good foods and takes care of himself according to proper medical principles — all his days will be painful ones and his strength shall wane.
Life is short, and Art long; the crisis fleeting; experience perilous, and decision difficult.
Everyone 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.
Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
