Adopt a regimen of health, practice moderate exercise, and take just enough food and drink to restore our strength, not overburden it.
–Cicero, 44 BC
Good, sensible advice, no? But does anyone know what “a regimen of health” would be for a first-century Roman? Goat sacrifices and mead? Had Rome already adopted the so-called Mediterranean Diet? (I know at least one Roman history expert; maybe he’ll weigh in eventually.)
I culled the quote from More magazine, which has popped up in every appointment room I’ve sat in the last few months.
More magazine is for the 40+ crowd but I kinda like it, for a women’s mag. It’s like O with less product whoring and some cool features, including regular pieces on female entrepreneurs.
Welcome to a site offering tools and support to help you cultivate and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. The flying trapeze stands for strength, equanimity, focus — the tools that allow us to do the seemingly impossible with graceful ease.

Love this quote, Sara. I might even add it to my WW signature if you don’t mind!! :)
PS–Very much goes along with the intuitive eating/Dr. Beck solution thought-processes.
