We are going to make an attempt at getting back into Blogging here. I am reading a book called The Kind Life by Alicia Silverstone. I am only one chapter in, but so far both of the first two chapters have began with some really great quotes/info, so I thought I would share them.
Apparently, the original definition of diet is: (noun) a way of living, or thinking, a day's journey. Quite a bit different from everything attached to the word 'diet' today, isn't it? I am really trying to get in touch with what I eat and make healthier choices, but it so convenient just to eat/make something out of a box. I don't know if I could be vegan like Alicia, but I am making baby steps to a better diet. Pass the quinoa please.
Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.
Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, 460-377 BC
Even Hippocrates knew better way back then. How far we have come, yet how backwards we are.
