How to Eat, Drink, and Exercise Like a Stoic
About this episode
"You have to submit to discipline, maintain a strict diet, abstain from rich foods, exercise under compulsion at set times in weather hot and cold, refrain from drinking water or wine whenever you want — in short, you have to hand yourself over to your trainer as if he were your doctor."
— Epictetus, Enchiridion 29
