Food Recommendations in the Trotula: Italian Prescription for Health?	2015	12	.pdf	application/pdf	4063	202	60	“The adage ‘eat to live, not live to eat’ translates, in medieval terms, to a search for a good equilibrium, aided by proper food, of the constitutive mix of the human body which characterizes it or their complexion(s)” (Jacquart 2006:260).1 Proper diet could, of course, be supplemented with medicines, fumigations, bleeding, cupping and a wide range of other treatments—but proper diet was considered fundamental to human health. Such foods are the yolks of eggs, the flesh and innards of young fowl and small birds, that is, partridges and pheasants, and scaly fish with good sauces” (Green 2002:81).	cache/digest-27880.pdf	txt/digest-27880.txt
