It has been rightly said that a healthy body is the guest chamber of soul and a sick one its prison. No doubt, with significant advances in Medical Science and gaining control over infectious diseases, the human lifespan has increased; but equally true is another aspect that the fast life of today has caused greater stress and strain thereby resulting in various diseases and health disorders. The present book is a detailed study of various health problems ranging from heart attack, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, gout and many others. It aims to develop awareness among readers about the basic nature of disease and to suggest preventive measures so that one may live a healthy life and enjoy it.

The book, needless to mention, will be found useful and highly informative by the students of Medicine—be it Allopathy, Homeopathy or Ayurvedic—in addition to the general readers.
