Journal Writing Prompt: Eat and be well
“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. But to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness.”
~Hippocrates
This is one of my favorite quotes. In celebration of our Thanksgiving holiday (in the U.S.) this week, I thought a topic on food and the purpose of food in relation to wellness would be quite apropo.
In your journal, consider today’s quote. After reading it, what is your first thought? Do you agree? Does what Hippocrates says make common sense? Why or why not?
Daily journal writing prompt bonus: What do you think Hippocrates means by “natural healing force”? What can you do in your own life to strengthn that force and fortify it against dis-ease? Write about it in your journal.
Happy Journaling!
