More quotes by Andrew Weil
The more people have, the less content they seem to be. In America, the cultural expectation that we're to be happy all the time and our children are to be happy all the time is toxic, and I think that really gets in the way of emotional well-being.
Andrew Weil
Limit or eliminate late-night computer and television viewing. A computer or TV screen may seem much dimmer than a light bulb, but these screens often fill your field of vision, mimicking the effects of a room filled with light.
Andrew Weil
Improper breathing is a common cause of ill health.
Andrew Weil
The most common objection that I hear to walking as exercise is that it's too easy, that only sweaty, strenuous activity offers real benefits. But there is abundant evidence that regular, brisk walking is associated with better health, including lower blood pressure, better moods and improved cholesterol ratios.
Andrew Weil
There's no single more powerful or simpler daily practice to further your health and well being than breath work.
Andrew Weil
Imagine a world in which medicine was oriented toward healing rather than disease, where doctors believed in the natural healing capacity of human beings and emphasized prevention above treatment. In such a world, doctors and patients would be partners working toward the same ends.
Andrew Weil
The notion that a human being should be constantly happy is a uniquely modern, uniquely American, uniquely destructive idea.
Andrew Weil
Any drug can be used successfully, no matter how bad it's reputation, and any drug can be abused, no matter how accepted it is. There are no good or bad rugs there are only good and bad relationships with drugs.
Andrew Weil
The usual justification for eating extra meals is that it keeps the metabolism revved up so that weight loss is easier. There is, however, very little hard evidence that supports this idea, and a fair amount that disputes it.
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
Massage therapy has been shown to relieve depression, especially in people who have chronic fatigue syndrome other studies also suggest benefit for other populations.
Andrew Weil
It's rare - too rare, I have to say - for botanists to become doctors.
Andrew Weil
Many exercise forms - aerobic, yoga, weights, walking and more - have been shown to benefit mood.
Andrew Weil
As an American, you have a right to good health care that is effective, accessible, and affordable, that serves you from infancy through old age, that allows you to go to practitioners and facilities of your choosing, and that offers a broad range of therapeutic options.
Andrew Weil
The more easily digestible and refined the carbohydrates, the greater the effect on our health, weight and well-being.
Andrew Weil
Pay attention to your body. The point is everybody is different. You have to figure out what works for you.
Andrew Weil
Treatment originates outside you healing comes from within.
Andrew Weil
You've got to experiment to figure out what works.
Andrew Weil
The essence of health is inner balance.
Andrew Weil
Your body can heal itself. It can do so because it has a healing system. If you are in good health, you will want to know about this system, because it is what keeps you in good health and because you can enhance that condition. If you or people you love are sick, you will want to know about this system, because it is the best hope for recovery.
