Publisher's Synopsis
An Ounce of Prevention aims to raise awareness in families and individuals as to how preventive measures can save lives and prevent the development of serious medical conditions and accidents.
Every day, unsafe practices cause accidents that result in critical injuries and death. The average person that does not take preventive healthcare seriously puts themselves at a higher risk for developing heart disease, cancer, kidney failure and other life-threatening conditions.
This book illustrates how people can establish good health and safety practices so that they can actually decrease their risk of tragedy. This has been well demonstrated and documented with things like seatbelts, infant car seats, smoke detectors, mammograms, colonoscopies, and vaccinations. And nothing beats establishing good safety practices in the family and undergoing routine preventive healthcare visits.
