Ibn Sina in his Canon said,

“Therefore we may say that the essential considerations in the art of preserving the health consist in maintaining equilibrium between all these various concomitant factors. But there are seven matters concerning which special care must be expended to ensure just proportion : (1) Equilibrium of temperament. (2) Selection of the articles of food and drink. (3) Evacuation of effete matters. (4) Safeguarding the composite. (5) Maintaining the purity of the air respired. (6) Guarding against extraneous contingencies. (7) Moderation in regard to the movements of the body and the motions of the mind, with which may be included sleep and wakefulness.”
