In addition to his work as clinical physician, astrologer, and professor, Maino also wrote books in his field of study. In this work, with its familiar title, his aim was to provide practical advice for those who wish to live long and healthy lives. As such, he discusses the physical body, and the effects of nutrition, exercise, bathing, emotions, sex, and other factors upon it. He goes into great detail on food and drink, dedicating chapters to cereals, legumes, fruit, leafy vegetables, root vegetables, mushrooms, truffles, meat, fish, sauces, confections, and drink.
