Food

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

~ Hippocrates

The idea of food as medicine is a good one.  Making choices to help your body feel better.  To nourish and encourage and sustain.

Take an orange to strengthen your bones.  Here are some root vegetables for good mental processing. How about some salmon for a healthy heart?  Have a plate of pasta to keep your body going in the hard days to come.  Enjoy this barbecue to lift your spirits.

The idea of medicine as food..?  Less appealing.  

Also, I wonder if Hippocrates' friends called him "Hippo" for short.

(pause)

Probably not.
