Food is Thy Medicine
The Greek Doctor Hippocrates said, "Let Food Be Thy Medicine and Medicine Be Thy Food" 450 years before Jesus walked the earth. Another one of his great lessons is Walking is Medicine.
Here we have the two ancient maxims for vibrant health and longevity that resonate today just as they did 2500 years ago. Nutrition and exercise are the keys to Life.
One of Greek doctor's advice to the medical profession and to all of us is to first and foremost, "Do Know Harm." Yet with our sophisticated medical knowledge and apparatus, our expensive drugs and treatments, we must ask ourselves are we living our best healthy lives?
The chronic diseases of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and arthritis run rampant across our global community. And sadly we know what must be done.
But are we willing?
Will we put down the doughnuts, bag of chips, glass of soda, or stop with the excessive alcohol. How many of us continue with the same habits despite the detriment to our well being.
Is there anything more frustrating than a friend or loved one that won't kick the habit that has led to disease while they are completely aware of what they are doing and the impact it will have on their families.
We must be mentally strong for the challenge is great and the outcome worth the journey. As Dr. Hippocrates recommended many years ago we have the power to heal ourselves but we have to first get out of our own way.
Yes, you can do it. Visualize, affirm, and begin. The time is now. The hour is upon us and we will win!
Let us begin!
With Love,
Coach K
