I suppose somewhere there might be someone who can benefit from this book, although I can’t imagine they’re old enough to have a job yet so they’re going to be borrowing money from mom and dad to buy this. There are some pretty pictures explaining basic science of some health issues. A nice illustration of what an ingrown hair is, for instance. If you need a picture to understand that kind of thing. You’ll also be taught the mysteries of how to floss, how to brush your teeth, how to cut your fingernails, and what body types can wear a double breasted suit.
Eventually the book makes it way to general issues of health — prostate health, cancer, heart disease — and things improve a little bit. Still not enough to make me think buying this book is worthwhile, though. Check it out from your local library and you can skim all the useful information in under an hour.

Time was when life seemed so much simpler. Whilst, on the one hand people did not go jogging, on the other there were no fast food outlets and a Hamburger was thought by some to be an inhabitant of a certain German city. Television was limited to a small number of main channels, mobile (or cell) phones were seen only in science fiction movies, the internet was beyond imagination and computers were vast machines operated only by the largest conglomerates.
One other area which has also changed as we continue to evolve, is an awareness of our own personal health and well-being. This understanding includes; Exercise, diet, medication, stress, sex and an overall satisfaction (or otherwise) with our personal appearance. Leaving medical conditions aside, it is far easier to let yourself go and accrue unwanted body fat than it is to do something about it. It is also difficult to assume an understanding of what makes the body tick – especially what makes it tick better!, because everything associated with such an understanding requires that vital commodity which becomes less and less available as each year passes – i.e. TIME!
Just as the human body has adapted to various unhealthy foods with the advent of obesity on an unprecedented scale, so the demand to understand calories, cholesterol and the problems associated with crash diets also continue to grow. In a book which, in the Index, devotes one third of a page to various sub-categories under the overall heading of “Exercise,” I was frequently surprised and often impressed by some of the subjects covered under the overall banner of “Men’s Health.”
From a personal viewpoint, I once served with British Airborne Forces which included an attachment to the SAS. I was also regimental champion at middle and long distance running. There was a time, therefore, when I was “very” fit. Although born in 1950, I still go running with a pack on my back, carry out my sit-ups and do my very best to keep my weight down. Whilst I may still be doing it the hard way, others will find a much easier route by studying this book and adopting those practises (and levels) of diet and exercise which will fit not only their own particular requirements – but also the limited time they are able to devote to themselves.
With a cast of professional contributors containing more “Doctors” than are found in some major hospitals, this is a complete guide and, in such a modern age, should be regarded as essential reading for those who care about their personal well-being. Understand what you need to understand – NOW and it will add years to your life. Leave it too late and well, that’s that then…
