	Galen

	GALEN'S MIXTURES
		Galen states that animal bodies are an unequal “mixture” of hot, cold, wet, and dry—an elaboration of the Hippocratic Pythagorean concept that the cosmos consists of four geometrically interacting primary life elements: earth, air, water, and fire.
		For humans, Galen describes this state as represented by the "well-fleshed man", who is neither fat nor thin, dry nor wet, and subject to a definition of median optimum health.
		Galen elaborates on the comparative model of the ideal median mixture balance, pointing out that it is not based on an equality between the four terms--but on "appropriateness of these amounts to nature of the animal or plant in question." (548)
