Health Quotes and Proverbs

Doc Childre, The HeartMath Solution
Our mental and emotional diets determine our overall energy levels, health and well-being more than we realize. Every thought and feeling, no matter how big or small, impacts our inner energy reserves.

Mother Teresa
There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
Heartfelt positive feelings create far more than a healthy psychological effect. They fortify our internal energy systems and nourish the body right down to the cellular level. For that reason, we like to think of these emotions as "quantum nutrients."

Gary Zukav (as quoted in HeartMath Discovery Program)
If your thoughts are thoughts that draw low-frequency energy current to you, your physical and emotional attitudes will deteriorate, and emotional or physical disease will follow, whereas thoughts that draw high-frequency energy current to you create physical and emotional health.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
Our mental and emotional diets determine our overall energy levels, health, and well-being to a far greater extent than most people realize. Every thought and feeling, no matter how big or small, impacts our inner energy reserves.

Think of great athletes of dancers who are able to create a special, relaxed state of mental and physical focus in order to achieve a much higher level of performance. Now you can employ that exact principle with any mental or emotional activity. And the benefit to your heart is phenomenal.

Doc Childre
A healthy, balanced ego expression allows you to perceive a true picture of yourself and builds a solid foundation of security. A balanced ego expression would mean appreciating yourself not just when things are going well, but especially at those times when you slip backward. Appreciate yourself for whatever progress you've made, then use that energy of appreciation to move forward. To dwell in poor-me attitudes or pitiful feelings is inverted vanity. It's a convenient hiding place, but it's still vanity. You can waste enormous amounts of energy in inverted vanity, creating reasons why you or others are to be blamed for something that happened that left you feeling victimized and powerless.

Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises from 1959-1994
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.

Michael Miller, MD, F.A.C.C., Center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center
It may be possible to incorporate laugher into daily activities, just as is done with other heart-healthy activities, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. The recommendation for a healthy heart may one day be exercise, eat right and laugh a few times a day.

The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, 2500 B.C.
When man is serene, the pulse of the heart flows and connects, just as pearls are joined together or like a string of red jade, then one can talk about a healthy heart.

Aaron Antonovsky (1987). Unraveling The Mystery of Health: How People Manage Stress and Stay Well.
We are coming to understand health not as the absence of disease, but rather as the process by which individuals maintain their sense of coherence (i.e. sense that life is comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful) and ability to function in the face of changes in themselves and their relationships with their environment.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
The thousand mysteries around us would not trouble but interest us, if only we had cheerful, healthy hearts.

John Steinbeck
A sad soul can kill you quicker than a germ.

Mark Twain
The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not. thanks to Alan Bennett

Nathaniel Hawthorne
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 past

.Dr.Karl Menninger
Love cures people — both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.

Arabian Proverb
He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything.

Dr. Joseph Pizzorno
Half the costs of illness are wasted on conditions that could be prevented.
