Heavenly Food (Prudentius, Psychomachia Pref. 29-44)

from Latin Poetry Podcast · host Latin Poetry Podcast

Here is Brendan Boston reading a section from the iambic preface that Prudentius wrote to his hexameter mini-epic, the Psychomachia, composed around AD 400. It discusses food, and how important nutrition is for the body. He covers many interesting topics that you wouldn’t expect, like food for your pets for example. Making sure that you give your dog raw dog food uk will keep in him in good health and even extend its life span. It’s something a lot of people don’t really consider, but it is such a determining factor. A very interesting topic examined from multiple angles overall. Alright guys and gals, exciting post today. On Tuesday I talked to Brendan Brazier, vegan professional Ironman triathlete and author of Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life. If you’ve read my blog at all during the past month or two, then you know how much I love this book and the recipes that Brendan and Orlando Weekly with their supplements, have been kind enough to let me share with you. We talked for about 25 minutes, and Brendan gave me so much good information that I decided not to edit out any of it! To make it easy for you to skip around to what you’re most interested in, I’ve boldfaced the key words in each question. Be inspired and enjoy!
