I love being active.

Let a man walk ten miles steadily on a hot summer’s day along a dusty English road, and he will soon discover why beer was invented.

Proper sleep has helped me get to where I am today as an athlete, and it is something that I continue to rely on every day.

There is one thing I have never taught my body how to do and that is to figure out at 6 A.M. what it wants to eat at 6 P.M.

My goal is to be number one in MMA.

The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.

‚Tis healthy to be sick sometimes.

As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.

Cheerfulness is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the mind as to the body.

It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer’s you are an old fart. That’s how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

He who does not mind his belly, will hardly mind anything else.

Mortality is very different when you’re 20 to when you’re 50.

I do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy.

If you’re a person struggling to eat and stay healthy, you might have heard about Michael Jordan or Muhammad Ali, but you’ll never have heard of Bill Gates.

The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.

Every action has a consequence. It may be good for strengthening. And I have no doubt that lifting a lot of weights can get you stronger. I just don’t know if lifting stronger weights can keep you healthy, or it can keep you doing your job better, especially for a pro athlete.

Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.

Disease generally begins that equality which death completes.

In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.

I’m going to get an MRI to find out whether I have claustrophobia.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.

My grandfather lived to be late 90s on one side and on the other side, 70s or something. And my father died young, at 63. But he didn’t take very good care of himself.

Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.

I’m not feeling very well – I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course.

I have to be on such a strict diet constantly.

I used to run a full marathon in three hours and 25 or 26 minutes. Not any more.

I regarded finding I had a form of Alzheimer’s as an insult and decided to do my best to marshal any kind of forces I could against this wretched disease. I have posterior cortical atrophy or PCA. They say, rather ingenuously, that if you have Alzheimer’s it’s the best form of Alzheimer’s to have.

I don’t believe in ‚thinking‘ old. Although I’ve transitioned through many bodies – a baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, mid-life and older adult – my spirit is unchanged. I support my body with exercise, my mind with reading and writing, and my spirit with the knowing that I am part of the Divine source of all life.

The first wealth is health.

With any recovery from morbidity there must go a certain healthy humiliation.

As we dread any disease that undermines the health of the body, so should we deplore contention, which is a corroding canker of the spirit.

Medicine heals doubts as well as diseases.

I have a difficult time sitting down for long periods.

Health is certainly extremely important, and we’ve done a number of things at Facebook to help improve global health and work in that area, and I am excited to do more there, too.

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.

The chief condition on which, life, health and vigor depend on, is action. It is by action that an organism develops its faculties, increases its energy, and attains the fulfillment of its destiny.

There’s nothing like the endorphins from being fit, and the incredible endorphin rush that goes with that.

I think hygiene is so important.

Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.

Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.

I’m not a health freak. I just work out every day.

My doctor told me I shouldn’t work out until I’m in better shape. I told him, ‚All right; don’t send me a bill until I pay you.‘

I have allergies, and I’ve had my share of nosebleeds, but that’s usually related to pollen.

I try to encourage all my teammates, and I sure hope that some day all athletes – my kids, high school kids – get the same level of care I get. Because you can play for a long period of time without having knee replacements, without having all the major head trauma that people are dealing with.

Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong.

This healthy eating stuff, it’s here to stay, and we now have everything we need to seize the opportunity and give all our kids the healthy futures they so richly deserve.

I want to lose weight because I want to be focused, meaning healthy.

In the morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his legs.

I have lost my mental faculties but am perfectly well.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

No body can be healthful without exercise, neither natural body nor politic, and certainly, to a kingdom or estate, a just and honourable war is the true exercise.

There is one consolation in being sick; and that is the possibility that you may recover to a better state than you were ever in before.

Ordinarily, players fine-tune their match-fitness during the pre-season.

A fit body gives you confidence. And there’s nothing more impressive than a great attitude, which you can wear on your sleeve. But you’ll have to remember the difference between being rude and being confident.

I eat next to nothing.

I’ve been running a full marathon every year for more than 20 years, and my record is getting worse. Getting older, getting worse. It’s natural.

I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon.
