Description

Explore the foundational medical wisdom of the ancient world with Galen on Food and Diet, published by Routledge. As the personal physician to Emperor Marcus Aurelius, Galen authored works that served as the definitive guide to nutrition and health for centuries. This collection brings his essential texts to English readers for the first time. Through the lens of the four humours theory, this book examines how various substances affect the human body. Readers will find detailed observations on a wide variety of items, ranging from everyday foods like lettuce and lard to fruits like peaches and even botanical elements like hyacinths. This volume provides a rare look into how ancient civilizations understood the relationship between what we eat and our physical well-being. It is an ideal resource for those interested in medical history, ancient philosophy, or the evolution of dietary science. Whether used for academic study or as a book to be dipped into periodically, these texts offer a fascinating window into the history of medicine.
