The Frugal Life: A Paradox
Health & Medicine, History - Early Modern (c. 1450-1750), Nutrition, Philosophy & Ethics
The Frugal Life: A Paradox is a philosophical treatise on diet and lifestyle written by Ortensio Landi in the early 16th century, with a later introduction by William E. A. Axon in 1899. The work advocates for a simple and frugal diet over indulgence, arguing that moderation promotes better health and a virtuous life. Landi critiques the excesses of his contemporary society, drawing on historical examples to illustrate how temperance contributes to longevity and wisdom. This text reflects early Renaissance ideas on health, spirituality, and moral integrity.
