And this good health contributes greatly to our happiness and living a good life. Below you will find some quotes and original artwork that try and inspire us all to focus on valuing and promoting good health.

πβYour body & nutrition:
The human body is incredible. Part of what makes it so impressive (apart from the concept of conciousness and self awareness) is its ability to regenerate itself. Your outer layer of skin, the epidermis, replaces itself every 35 days. You are given a new liver every six weeks (a human liver can regenerate itself completely even if as little as 25% remains of it). Your stomach lining replaces itself every 4 days, and the stomach cells that come into contact with digesting food are replaced every 5 minutes. Our entire skeletal structures are regenerated every 3 months. Your entire brain replaces itself every two months. And the entire human body, right down to the last atom, is replaced every 5-7 years.
Brent Lambert
πYou are, quite literally, what you eat. Every bite, every drink matters.

π§ βYour mind & good health:
There is no health without mental health
W.H.O European declaration on mental health
πThe secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Buddha
π§ Your mental state should always remain calm. Even if some anxiety occurs, as it is bound to in life, you should always be calm. Like a wave, which rises from the water and dissolves back into the water, these disturbances are very short, so they should not affect your basic mental attitude. If you remain calm your blood pressure and so on remains more normal and as a result your health will improve.
Tenzin Gyatso, The Dalai Lama
πSuppose you read about a pill that you could take once a day to reduce anxiety and increase your contentment. Would you take it? Suppose further that the pill has a great variety of side effects, all of them good: increased self-esteem, empathy, and trust; it even improves memory. Suppose, finally, that the pill is all natural and costs nothing. Now would you take it? The pill exists. Itβs called meditation.
Jonathan Haidt
πΏNature's effect on our health:
πThousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going into nature is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.
John Muir
πI go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
John Burroughs
πOver 100 studies have shown that being in nature, or even viewing nature in photos and videos, can have positive impacts on our brains, bodies, feelings, thought processes, and social interactions. In particular, viewing nature seems to be inherently rewarding, producing a cascade of position emotions, calming our nervous systems and reducing stress.

πHumans evolved for thousands of years by spending most of their time outside, physically active amongst our natural environment. Itβs only recently that we have started to live a mostly sedentary lifestyle, indoors, sat in front of a tv or computer screen. Itβs not good for us. Most of us have experienced the boost that exercise gives us or felt the positive effects of being outside in the fresh air with the sunlight beaming down upon us. We just need to do more of it.
