I’m currently working on some
gift bags for a health care agency, while I’m also in the midst of completing
my annual health assessment for insurance purposes. The former led me to some
quotes attributed to the Greek physician Hippocrates, who is often referred to
as the “father of medicine.” While the time period in which he lived is cited
as c. 460 – c. 370 BCE, some of the quotes I came upon seemed as suitable today
as they evidently were during his lifetime. Here is a sampling of what I found
on Goodreads.
“If we could give every individual
the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much,
we would have found the safest way to health.”
“Walking is man's best medicine.”
“Let food be thy medicine.”
Eat well and exercise- simple
health advice that has stood the test of time.
What a great post - filled with wisdom as well. Thanks for sharing it with me - so very timely!

Elizabeth-
DeleteI told my husband about your post last night, because both of us have had joint surgeries and physical therapy in recent years—my husband had two knee replacements and a hip replacement within a space of three years. Experiences like those change you at some level. I will say, your barber husband sounds wonderful. When I was caring for my husband, I had visions of becoming Misery’s Annie Wilkes. Thank goodness I didn’t (or at least I think I didn’t). I hope you and your husband enjoy your new lease on life.
