About this title

Synopsis

This reference book covers all aspects of men's health, not just heart disease and prostate trouble, but all aspects of a man's life. It features sections on physical, sexual, and mental health, as well as self-image and grooming and what you get out of being a "health hero." Written by both a man and a woman, topics range from diet and nutrition to fertility; from baldness to depression; from life insurance tests to how to avoid common infectious diseases. Using advice from expert organizations such as the British Heart Foundation, Save Our Sons, and the Terence Higgins Trust, as well as Dr. Apple's experience as a GP, the book contains contemporary and detailed medical information. Combining quizzes, case studies, and interviews with experts, this book should help any man who wants to develop all-round good health.
