The book is broken down into 5 convenient sections: · Injuries and Symptoms · Pregnancy and Healthy Children · Healthy Adults · Diseases and Disorders · Tests and Treatments As a busy adult, it can be difficult to track down information about living a healthy lifestyle. In addition to outlining medical guidance concerning vaccinations, nutrition and fitness, managing stress, and overcoming unhealthy behaviors, the Mayo Clinic Family Health Book explains diseases and disorders that can develop as we age, like sleep disorders, diabetes, mental illnesses, digestive problems, and different types of cancers.
