You've got to experiment to figure out what works.
Andrew Weil
Many exercise forms - aerobic, yoga, weights, walking and more - have been shown to benefit mood.
Andrew Weil
There's no single more powerful or simpler daily practice to further your health and well being than breath work.
Andrew Weil
I have argued for years that we do not have a health care system in America. We have a disease-management system - one that depends on ruinously expensive drugs and surgeries that treat health conditions after they manifest rather than giving our citizens simple diet, lifestyle and therapeutic tools to keep them healthy.
Andrew Weil
To be clear, I worry as much about the impact of the Internet as anyone else. I worry about shortening attention spans, the physical cost of sedentary surfing and the potential for coarsening discourse as millions of web pages compete for attention by appealing to our base instincts.
Andrew Weil
American businesses are struggling to pay outrageous, exploitive insurance bills for their employees, hampering our ability to compete globally.
Andrew Weil
The desire to transcend one's own ego boundaries, to share completely, even for a moment, the consciousness of another person must be a universal longing. It motivates many of our activities from taking drugs to making love, and lies behind the search for new ways of getting close to one another that is so intense in our society today.
Andrew Weil
Citizens must pressure the American Hospital Association, the American Public Health Association, the Centers for Disease Control and other relevant governmental agencies to make greening our hospitals and medical centers a top priority so that they themselves don't create even more illness.
Andrew Weil
Low levels of vitamin D in the population as a whole suggest that most people need to take a vitamin D supplement. This may be especially true for seniors, as the ability to synthesize vitamin D in the skin declines with age.
Andrew Weil
Most disease is lifestyle related and preventable
Andrew Weil
Genuine happiness comes from within, and often it comes in spontaneous feelings of joy.
Andrew Weil
The notion that a human being should be constantly happy is a uniquely modern, uniquely American, uniquely destructive idea.
Andrew Weil
The more easily digestible and refined the carbohydrates, the greater the effect on our health, weight and well-being.
Andrew Weil
Technology has a shadow side. It accounts for real progress in medicine, but has also hurt it in many ways, making it more impersonal, expensive and dangerous. The false belief that a safety net of sophisticated drugs and machines stretches below us, permitting risky or lazy lifestyle choices, has undermined our spirit of self-reliance.
Andrew Weil
Fear and greed are potent motivators. When both of these forces push in the same direction, virtually no human being can resist.
Andrew Weil
Our feet are our body's connection to the earth.
Andrew Weil
Pay attention to your body. The point is everybody is different. You have to figure out what works for you.
Andrew Weil
Improper breathing is a common cause of ill health.
Andrew Weil
My personal opinion is that the neutral position on the mood spectrum—what I called emotional sea level—is not happiness but rather contentment and the calm acceptance that is the goal of many kinds of spiritual practice.
Andrew Weil
Happiness is a skill. It requires effort and time.
Andrew Weil
