As we enter 21st century, it is important not to forget concepts set fourth by Hippocrates and his concept of “positive health”

He established the concept of "Positive Health" as follows:

"Positive health requires a knowledge of man's primary constitution
(which today we call genetics) and of the powers of various foods, both
those natural to them and those resulting from human skill (today's
processed food). But eating alone is not enough for health. There must
also be exercise, of which the effects must likewise be known. The
combination of these two things makes regimen, when proper attention is
given to the season of the year, the changes of the winds, the age of
the individual and the situation of his home. If there is any deficiency
in food or exercise the body will fall sick." (5th Century BC)
