Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is the autobiography of Venetian noble Luigi Cornaro, who lived from 1467 to 1566, and an avid proponent of temperance and healthy living. Cornaro was in poor health during his adolescence and much of his middle age, but made a full recovery by adopting a diet and exercise regimen that he developed, and which became the focus of his book. Cornaro offers this book as a guidebook on how to achieve a long, healthy, and happy life by choosing moderation over excess, and outlines the regimen that helped him achieve this goal. The book features reflections from the author on the benefits of his chosen lifestyle and its impact on his well-being and longevity. Through Cornaroâs story, the book explores the relationship between diet, exercise, and overall health, arguing that a simple and balanced life can prolong life and improve its quality.
