The Healing Power of Doing Good Quotes

“Exercise and good nutrition, for all their power to keep us healthy, are not enough. The next revolution in health care must be to bring to our awareness the health potential of helping others. The present headlined health revolution will not be completed until people realize that no matter how much they concentrate on themselves, they cannot achieve optimal health. They have to relate to others. This new information is something that all of us, at least at the back of our minds, already somehow know; that doing good feels good. But with the rising levels of crime and fear in our communities, and the increasing busyness of our lives, it is easy to forget, to believe mistakenly that we are protecting ourselves by avoiding others. In fact, the opposite is true.”
