Herophilus About Health

"When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied."

- Herophilus (335-280 B.C.) 

A Greek anatomist and surgeon, the father of Anatomy,

dissected and wrote about the brain, being the first one to describe its cavities, the cerebral ventricles, which he associated with mental functions.

• The pancreas was first identified by Herophilus. Only a few hundred years later, Ruphos, another Greek anatomist, gave the pancreas its name.

• The Medical News: Health : Pancreas 
• Milestones in Neuroscience Research  

In my  view, only babies are truly helpless. The rest of us have free will and free choices in life, thanks to the marvelous tool called brain. At the end of the day, only one person is responsible for fueling the amazing vehicle that takes one through the journey called LIFE, and that vehicle is the body. Guess who that person in charge is?

How come we give more consideration to what kind of gasoline we put into our cars than how to properly fuel our bodies? Why we get so worked up about someone leaving typos and misspellings in one's writings and speaking with an accent, and care less about what came through our own digestive system on any given day? 

Hence, my question of the day:

How much longer will it take the human kind to fall in love with life deep enough to feel personally responsible for better personal health?
