Hippocrates on nutrition

Recently, I have been on my own little crusade against processed food. I know it’s hard and time consuming to get high quality food in many instances, but when you consider that you become essentially the foods you eat, it’s well worth it. If you eat crap, you become …crap!

This is not a new concept, of course. Many…and much better I might add…have stated this very effectively. In fact, one of my favorite quotes on this comes from Hippocrates:

Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food.

Next time you reach for a glazed doughnut, ask yourself, “Would this look good as a part of my hips?”
