food should be taken in right measure. Moderation in eating is the secret of longevity The man who stops just a little before he feels he has had enough, retains the joy of eating; on the other hand, the big eater invites disease.

The ignorant man who eats beyond "the measure of the fire", i.e., beyond his power of digestion, must be prepared for all sorts of ailments. The three humors postulated by those learned in the science of the human body cause disease if there is superfluity or deficiency, i.e., if excess or deficiency in food or work upsets the balance. |
