Return to Index of Health Quotes Causes of DiseaseToday, more than 95% of all chronic disease is caused by food choice, toxic food ingredients, nutritional deficiencies and lack of physical exercise.

Give a man health and a course to steer, and he'll never stop to trouble about whether he's happy or not. Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it. A woman's health is her capital.

InsightfulA healthy body is the guest-chamber of the soul; a sick, its prison. The "I" in illness is isolation, and the crucial letters in wellness are "we". Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Garbage in garbage out. The best and most efficient pharmacy is within your own system. The part can never be well unless the whole is well. To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind.

Make Your Health a PriorityTo keep the body in good health is a duty, for otherwise we shall not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom, and keep our mind strong and clear. Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we're scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don't have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list. Return to Index of Health Quotes MedicineMedicine sometimes snatches away health, sometimes gives it. Mainstream medicine would be way different if they focused on prevention even half as much as they focused on intervention… Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn't organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals. Return to Index of Health Quotes Mind Body SpiritHealth is a large word. It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well;... and not today's pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a man. Diseases of the soul are more dangerous and more numerous than those of the body. In a disordered mind, as in a disordered body, soundness of health is impossible. Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul; man cannot live in health without them. The mind has great influence over the body, and maladies often have their origin there. A bodily disease, which we look upon as whole and entire within itself, may, after all, be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual part. Return to Index of Health Quotes Motivation for DietersLet food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. If hunger is not the problem, then eating is not the solution. Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. If you wish to grow thinner, diminish your dinner. The one way to get thin is to re-establish a purpose in life. I believe in giving rewards and positive reinforcement for a job well done, but can we raise ourselves a little higher than the dogs and give rewards that have longer-term benefits? How can a poor food choice be a true reward anyway? Your stomach shouldn't be a waist basket. More die in the United States of too much food than of too little. One should eat to live, not live to eat. When friends tell you how awesome you look, drop the "I still have more to go" crap. You worked hard and you deserve the compliment! Albert Einstein, who discovered that a tiny amount of mass is equal to a huge amount of energy, which explains why, as Einstein himself so eloquently put it in a famous 1939 speech to the Physics Department at Princeton, 'You have to exercise for a week to work off the thigh fat from a single Snickers.' Return to Index of Health Quotes Rich, fatty foods are like destiny: they too, shape our ends. Stressed spelled backwards is desserts. Coincidence? I think not! Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst, for they are sticking to their diets. Bigger snacks mean bigger slacks. Living a healthy lifestyle will only deprive you of poor health, lethargy, and fat. Saying yes to the skinny jeans by saying no to the donuts. The commonest form of malnutrition in the western world is obesity. Your body is a temple, not a drive-through. We never repent of having eaten too little. Return to Index of Health Quotes Motivation to ExercisePhysical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. Exercise is also a powerful way to switch on endorphins or 'happy chemicals' that are naturally produced in our bodies. Even a brisk walk does the job, so simple decisions such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator can instantly change our mood and perspective. You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where the hell she is. Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. Living a healthy lifestyle will only deprive you of poor health, lethargy, and fat. Commit to be fit. Exercise should be regarded as tribute to the heart. Return to Index of Health Quotes Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness. Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. Physical fitness can neither be achieved by wishful thinking nor outright purchase. There are really only two requirements when it comes to exercise. One is that you do it. The other is that you continue to do it. Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person's physical, emotional, and mental states. A man's health can be judged by which he takes two at a time - pills or stairs. It is exercise alone that supports the spirits, and keeps the mind in vigor. Return to Index of Health Quotes ProfoundThe greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other kind of happiness. Our illness is often our healing. In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired. Your body is a temple, but only if you treat it as one. So many people spend their health gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth to regain their health. Return to Index of Health Quotes ProverbsAn apple a day keeps the doctor away. From the bitterness of disease man learns the sweetness of health. The more you eat, the less flavor; the less you eat, the more flavor. A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools. He who takes medicine and neglects to diet wastes the skill of his doctors. Sickness comes on horseback but departs on foot. A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book. Fresh air impoverishes the doctor. The appearance of a disease is swift as an arrow; its disappearance slow, like a thread. An imaginary ailment is worse than a disease. When the head aches, all the body is the worse. He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything. Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork. To lengthen your life, shorten your meals. Return to Index of Health Quotes Value of HealthThe greatest wealth is Health. Health is like money, we never have a true idea of its value until we lose it. ~Josh Billings Time and health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted. It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning. The first wealth is health. In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties. Good health and good sense are two of life's greatest blessings. Return to Index of Health Quotes Worrying about HealthQuit worrying about your health. It will go away. There's lots of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven't the time to enjoy it. What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease. Return to Index of Health Quotes Return to Life Quotes - from Health Quotes

The Dash
It's not the date you were born, or the date you died, that really matters. It's "the dash" between those years and what you do with it, to make a difference with your life.
