Marsha Wubbels
This open access book explores how medical advice on diet, exercise, and body weight evolved in Britain between 1670 and 1830. Drawing primarily on printed health guides, alongside letters and diaries, it argues that the period from 1680 to 1780 marked a formative moment in the development of modern health advice.
