Quotes on why discipline is important to your health

Discipline is definitely important in life and certainly for your health. Here are some quotes on the reasons why.  

“A man is born gentle and weak. At death, he is hard and stiff. Green plants are tender and filled with sap. At death, they are withered and dry. Therefore, the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death, and the gentle and yielding is the disciple of life.” - Lao Tzu

“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” - Jim Rohn

“If you’re fifty, exercise your mind and body regularly, eat well, and have a general zest for life, you’re likely younger – in very real, physical terms – than your neighbor who is forty-four, works in a dead-end job, eats chicken wings twice a day, considers thinking too strenuous, and looks at lifting a beer glass as a reasonable daily workout.” - Ken Robinson

 

 

“You can be fit without being healthy, but you can’t be healthy without being fit. Meaning… you can be in great shape on the outside, but if you don’t eat great and don’t take care of your insides, you aren’t necessarily healthy. History shows us there were plenty of athletes who were in great shape but suddenly died of a heart attack. Balance is key.” - Jesse Itzler, Living With A SEAL

 

“My temptation is emotional, and resisting will further my needed weight loss and strengthen my character. Furthermore, nothing tastes as good as thin feels.” - Stephen Covey

 

“We do not stop exercising because we grow old – we grow old because we stop exercising.” - Dr. Kenneth Cooper
