"a massage a day keeps the doctor away" (Hippokrates)

What do you think about this saying? Do you think massages can prevent diseases?

I think it's respectably possible. Getting a massage reduces stress levels which means lesser production of cortisol levels. Consistent high cortisol levels for long periods of time can lead to depression, hormone irregulation, hypertension, and what not. If I had the time and money, I would love to get a massage everyday! lol. Or maybe thats when the girlfriend comes in! damn the single life! lol
