Download file "Galen on Food and Diet" to see previous pages...Thus, "Galen asserted that health could be maintained only when the four humors were evenly balanced within the body. Comprising blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile, the humors could break with this symmetry if the body was abused, either through a faulty diet, unaccustomed exercise or a change of climate.
Interacting with the humors were the four qualities to whose operation was attributed the birth and decay of all living things." (Galen and Grant, 9) In the following chapters of the book, the author incorporates Galen's discussions on the humors, on the black bile, on uneven bad temperament, on the causes of disease, on barley soup, and on the powers of foods in three books. According to Galen, a considerable number of the most outstanding physicians have written about the powers of foods and it is reasonable that the majority of the best physicians should determine to ascertain the powers in nutrition. In short, Galen on Food and Diet can be realized as an important contribution to English language to get hold of the captivating insights into the ancient understanding of food and health.
