Mark Grant, "Galen on Food and Diet"
English | ISBN: 0415232333 | 2000 | 224 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Galen, the personal physician of the emperor Marcus Aurelius, wrote what was long regarded as the definitive guide to a healthy diet, and profoundly influenced medical thought for centuries. Based on his theory of the four humours, these works describe the effects on health of a vast range of foods including lettuce, lard, peaches and hyacinths.
