The health of  the mind and the  body has preoccupied  people since the beginning of human existence. The classical Latin proverb  Mens   in corpore  sano formulated by the Roman poeta Juvenal (60? – 140?) shows this.

Here we have some other proverbs about the same subject:

1.       An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

2.       After dinner sit a while, after supper walk a mile.

3.       The best   physicians are Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet and Dr. Merryman.

4.       Eat to live and not live to eat.

5.       Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

6.       One hour’s sleep before midnight is worth two hours after.

7.       Diseases come on horseback but go away on foot.

8.       Nature, time and patience are three great physicians.
