Our healthy life expectancy is only 64 years for men and 65 years for women. This means that, most of the time, we will live with illnesses for twenty years.
Preventing Your Health Capital Today, we know how to avoid most illnesses, yet we do nothing. What are the obstacles to taking action? What do we stand to gain? Where do we begin? Dr. Florence Bénichoux's book has the sole aim of guiding you in preserving your health capital, yours and that of your loved ones.
Gaining Years of Good Health Thanks to curative medicine, we have increased our life expectancy. Now we need to gain years of good health. Prevention is therefore not just the icing on the cake; it is the challenge of the 21st century and also the chance for the survival of our healthcare system.
Our behavior influences our future health Medicine is constantly progressing and alerting us to the consequences of our unhealthy lifestyles. With the epigenetics revolution, we are discovering that our current behaviors influence our future health, as well as that of our descendants.
Live better today to enjoy tomorrow It's never too late to take control: the health compass and self-assessment questionnaires in this book will serve as essential guides in this transformation.
