español term
Que la comida sea tu alimento y el alimento tu medicina
español al inglés
Medicina
Nutrición
Quote by Hippocrates
The quote in English is "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" or variants thereof, and it seems as if the Spanish version above is definitely the preferred one, but my doubt is why the emphasis is slightly different, when both purport to be translating the same Greek phrase. Does anyone have any sources that confirm one of these translations from the Greek?
