Similar to the authors' previous book, The Best Medicine: The Complete Health and Preventive Medicine Handbook ( LJ 9/1/85), this book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date look at ways to achieve good health. The authors divide their topic into four basic areas: healthy habits; common diseases and how to try to prevent them; self-care and rational use of the health care system; and drugs and health. The book's organization allows for easy access, and the authors provide practical, sensible, and factual information for lay readers, including discussions on health risk factors, illustrations of basic exercises, and nutrition tables. Recommended for consumer health collections.
