Health and Islam - Prevention from needing medical treatment: Imam Ali (as)
Imam Ali (as) told Imam Hassan (as): Shall I teach you four traits by which you will be in no need of any medical treatment?" "Yes," Imam Hassan answered. Then Ali (as) said: 1. Do not sit for good (in order to eat) unless you are hungry: and 2. Do not leave the table of food but you still have an appetite for it; 3. Chew (your food in your mouth) well; 4. And, when you want to go to bed, (primarily) go to the wash room to ease nature. If you take these in action, you will be in no need of any medical treatment."
