Leonardo’s prescription for life

Leonardo’s prescription for life:

If you want to be healthy observe this regime.

* Do not eat when you have no appetite, and dine lightly.

* Chew well, and whatever you take into you…

* Should be well-cooked and of simple ingredients.

* He who takes medicine is ill advised.

* Beware anger and avoid stuffy air.

* Stay standing a while when you get up from a meal.

* Make sure you do not sleep at midday.

* Let your wine be mixed with water, take little at a time…

* Not between meals, nor on an empty stomach.

* Neither delay nor prolong your visit to the toilet.

* If you take exercise, let it not be too strenuous.

* Do not lie with your stomach upward and your head downward. Be well covered at night.

* And rest your head and keep your mind cheerful.

* Avoid wantonness and keep to this diet.
