Wilkins, John, "Galen on Food, Diet, and the Healthy Life", dins: Singer, P. N. - Rosen, Ralph M. (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Galen, Oxford, Oxford Academic, 2024, pp. 361-378.

Resum: Galen inherited strong theories of the environment and nutrition from the Hippocratic authors and from numerous predecessors whom he had researched closely. Nutrition for Galen comprised a third of medical practice, along with drugs and surgery, and was integrated with pharmacology in his major treatise Simple Drugs, and with health and well-being in social contexts in his Health. His treatise devoted to nutrition, The Capacities of Foodstuffs, considers foods as eaten in the daily diet. Nutrition was an area of active research for Galen, who reports many experiments and observations taken from his patients and their diets.
