Drawing upon the research and expertise of more than 4,500 renowned
physicians, this reference manual provides a clear look at the causes,
symptoms, and treatment options for hundreds of potential health
conditions. With almost 1,400 pages of updated content, the Mayo Clinic
Family Health Book is a comprehensive health guide for the whole
family.
In the completely revised fifth edition of the Mayo Clinic Family
Health Book, the experts at Mayo Clinic bring you in-depth information
about health issues that can affect you at any age. From offering
medical guidance for treating minor cuts, bruises, bites, or blisters,
to identifying warning signs of more serious medical issues, this book
gives a helpful overview for health conditions you may encounter as a
parent, caretaker, or regular healthy adult.
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.
And just as adult health conditions change with age, the same can be
said for children. Whether it's healthcare for infants and toddlers or
preteens and teenagers, this comprehensive manual helps give parents
insight into every health condition their kids may face during all
stages of childhood.
While the Mayo Clinic Family Health Book serves as a helpful tool to
keep and reference throughout life, the book also provides essential
medical information that may be needed in emergency situations. With
detailed descriptions for performing CPR, the Heimlich Maneuver, and
treating severe bleeds and burns, this book is an invaluable resource to
study to help you prepare for the worst-case scenario.
Now with an updated, 48-page visual guide that helps readers have a
better understanding of human anatomy, the Mayo Clinic Family Health
Book is a must-have guide for understanding healthy living at all
stages of life.
