Excellent Quote from Book Titled "Against the Grain"

I came across this quote recently as I started reading my next health book titled "Against the Grain" by David Perlmutter, MD.  This quote reminded me about the value that doctors of chiropractic place on a wellness lifestyle of exercise and nutrition, good habits, and preventative and maintenance care to keep the body working at the most optimal level possible.

"Maintaining order rather than correcting disorder is the ultimate principle of wisdom.  To cure disease after it has appeared is like digging a well when one feels thirsty, or forging weapons after the war has already begun."                                            

-Nei Jing, 2nd Century BC

When you apply this quote to the concept of maintaining order in the realm of one's individual health, it is much easier to maintain general and musculoskeletal health, in comparison with the difficult task of restoring and correcting it.
