This classical period Greek physician revolutionized medicine. His insights were nothing short of amazing, considering he was practicing from 460-370 BC.
His quotes are relevant and insightful to this day. Here are my favorites 👇
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
Hippocrates was ahead of his time recognizing the importance of food in healing.
We eat highly processed diets today and suffer the consequences. Obesity, heart disease, Alzheimer's, and more.
Eat whole foods.
"Walking is man's best medicine."
The health benefits of walking cannot be overstated.
- Fat loss
- Blood flow
- Mental clarity
- Mitochondrial health
Hippocrates recognized the healing abilities of frequent walking, something we ignore today.
>75% of single young women have anxiety/depression
~33% of single young men have anxiety/depression
~33% are losers with nothing going on in their lives (porn/video game addicted, slobs, etc.)
~33% are healthy, good shape, doing just fine
I'm not sure what to make of this.
Our society claims to champion women. I don't see it. I see a small group of ambitious women who are happy.
The rest are sad, unhealthy, and hate their young lives.
Young men are no better.
Some find their way and build a good career. But the pool of available women is shrinking.
Men aren't going to college at high rates anymore and women don't like to date down the education ladder (stats reflect this, not my opinion).
