Medical Conditions

It is thought that Hippocrates "the father of medicine" said the following.

"If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health."

And so today many of society's most serious illnesses, Type 2 Diabetes, some cancers and Cardiovascular disease are largely preventable or manageable by following a healthy Diet and regular exercise.

It is not surprising that there are recurrent themes throughout the articles in each medical condition.
