Lifetime Health

The author, a general practitioner, is more interested in teaching people to stay healthy than in attending to their ailments. He looks at the five most dreaded diseases (cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke, dementia and diabetes) and what one can do to diminish one's risk of contraction. He gives advice on general ailments such as high blood pressure, tiredness and allergies, on staying young and on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a positive attitude. He looks at practical aspects of staying young and healthy -- including chapters on eating supplements, hormone replacement therapy, diet, exercise and lifestyle. The emphasis falls on physical and mental wellness with a view to staying (and feeling) younger for longer.
