This book describes how bad habits contribute to ill health. The habits the author refers to that so negatively impact patients, but are responsible for the great majority of the world’s deaths, include the following:

Alcohol abuse

Tobacco abuse

Obesity

Poor dietary habits

All these first five “habits’’ inevitably lead to significant illness and mortality. This book is written for those who desire good health. It will detail the vast number of negative health consequences that will befall anyone who practices one or more of these habits. How can I be so sure?
