Hippocrates' advises on health:
1. Do nothing, meaning don't be hypochondriac and poison your body with useless medication and practices. "First, do not harm".
2. Everything in moderation.
3. Walk every day, be active.
4. Good food is good health.
5. Diseases show through human behavior. Know your patients well.
