Thoughts from healthy minds:)

"If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in a sorry a state as the souls who live under tyranny."
By Thomas Jefferson

"Let food be your medicine and medicine your food. Only nature heals provided it is given the opportunity"
(Pills don't heal, only the human body can -Brett)
By Hippocrates

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
By Thomas Edison

Many people associate health/fitness now days with vanity. But thats just the reward your body gives to you for making it healthy on the inside then it in turn blesses your outside. Right now my generation, the people in there 20's for the first time in history have a shorter life expactancy then there parents generation. But what is worse is that the my generations children, the ones being born now have a shorter life expectancy the we will.

The first wealth is health. Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes

So many people spend their health gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth to regain their health.

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. Thomas Jefferson quotes

A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.

In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties.

A man's health can be judged by which he takes two at a time - pills or stairs.

Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by
society.
Thomas Jefferson quotes

To preserve health is a moral and religious duty, for health is the basis of all social virtues. We can no longer be useful when we are not well. Samuel Johnson quotes

Health is not valued till sickness comes. Thomas Fuller quotes

Just wanted to share some great quotes from some great minds.
I had to stop somewhere.
