Greece since antiquity has developed the holistic approach “A healthy body, a healthy mind” («νοῦς ὑγιής σώμαν σώματι ὑγιεῖ») which includes the fundamentals of health, exercise, proper nutrition, noble rivalry ("εὖ ἀγωνίζεσθαι"), the Olympic Ideal and sports competition. Hippocrates, the founder of rational medicine, continues to urge us till today:

"Positive health and human functions require knowledge of man’s primary composition (genetics) and of the nutrients of various foods, both those natural to them and those resulting from human skill (processed foods). Food alone is not enough for health and human function. There must also be exercise (training), in form, duration, intensity and frequency. With the lack of food and / or proper exercise, the body will weaken and fall sick ". 

~Hippocrates (480 BC).
