Preventive Healthcare
Keep your body and soul healthy
Every year our average life expectancy increases by two months, but in order to make the most of this gift and the many years that precede it, we need to take good care of ourselves. This means we should be taking action to stave off potential health problems before they have a negative impact on our lives.
Marianne Koch examines the most common afflictions and shows how we can prevent them. The book includes a health check-up and delineates the precautionary medical examinations available to us, explaining who should take them and at what point.
