About Hippocrates
Hippocrates, born around 460 BCE on the Greek island of Kos, is widely regarded as the "Father of Medicine." He played a crucial role in transforming medicine from a practice based on superstition into a discipline grounded in careful observation, logical reasoning, and ethical principles. His teachings emphasized the importance of understanding diseases through natural causes rather than attributing them to divine punishment or supernatural forces. His influence remains strong in modern medical ethics, education, and clinical practice.

25. “Positive health requires a knowledge of man’s primary constitution and of the powers of various foods, both those natural to them and those resulting from human skill. But eating alone is not enough for health. There must also be exercise, of which the effects must likewise be known. The combination of these two things makes regimen, when proper attention is given to the season of the year, the changes of the wind, the age of the individual, and the situation of his home. If there is any deficiency in food or exercise, the body will fall sick.”
