  bibo_abstract:
  - 'The work of Oliva Sabuco, a Spanish philosopher and Renaissance writer, focuses
    on a holistic medical philosophy that intertwines physical, psychological, and
    social health. In her main work, Nueva Filosofía de la Naturaleza del Hombre,
    she explores the interaction between body and soul, emphasizing the crucial role
    of emotions and digestion in human health. Sabuco identifies three “pillars of
    health”: optimism, happiness, and digestive harmony. She argues that these factors
    promote harmony between the soul and body, which in turn enhances brain and bodily
    functions. Poor digestion or negative emotions, on the other hand, can disrupt
    the connection between the brain and body, leading to illness. A central concept
    in Sabuco’s theory is chilo, a nourishing fluid produced through digestion that
    sustains the brain. She highlights the importance of balanced nutrition, avoiding
    overeating, and selecting appropriate foods. Sabuco provides detailed dietary
    recommendations, including simple and nutritious meals, as well as practices for
    cleansing the body, such as induced vomiting and fasting. Her approach integrates
    anatomical knowledge, medical principles, and psychological influences to address
    and prevent illness. Sabuco advocates for personal responsibility and self-care,
    embedding her philosophy within a humanistic framework.@eng'
