The biggest challenges in public health today are often related to
attitudes, diet and exercise. In many ways, this marks a return to
the state of medicine in the eighteenth century, when ideals of
healthy living were a much more central part of the European
consciousness than they have become since the advent of modern
clinical medicine. Enlightenment advice on healthy lifestyle was
often still discussed in terms of the six non-naturals - airs and
places, food and drink, exercise, excretion and retention, and
sleep and emotions. This volume examines what it meant to live
healthily in the Enlightenment in the context of those
non-naturals, showing both the profound continuities from Antiquity
and the impact of newer conceptions of the body. Chapter 8 of this
book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a
