Changes

As you might have already guessed, a healthy, well-balanced diet combines foodstuffs in such a way that will help cancel their humoral complexions out; things that are ''hot'' should be mixed with ''cold'' ones, just like foods that are ''moist'' are best paired with those that are ''dry''. A perfect balance is not advised, however, because, as we know, every person is already somewhat off-balance. Therefore, you should follow a personalised diet that will help correct your own humoral constitution. If you're a choleric, for example, then you should eat more ''watery'' (that is, ''moist'' and ''cold'') foods, while avoiding those akin to ''fire'' (''dry'' and ''hot''). And bear in mind that your personalised diet should be modified as you age, as well as constantly adjusted for the season of the year and any current afflictions. There is no single diet that is fit for all; a regimen that is designed for one individual may be harmful to another. From the point of view of humoral dietetics, the 21st20th-century food pyramid, which anyone can consult and follow, makes no sense.
