Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Body in Health The aim has been kept in view of awakening in the young a normal desire to live in such a manner as to develop strength and preserve health, because in this way one may best achieve success in securing the things which he desires, and in avoiding the disabilities and pains which otherwise are likely to occupy a considerable part of his life. Comparatively little attention is given to anatomy, and only sufficient physiology is presented to constitute a basis for the facts of health which are discussed. Very extensive use is made of photographs and diagrams illustrating everyday life in the City and in the country. There is at least one interesting and practical original exercise suggested for every principle of health presented in each lesson. In order further to assist the teacher and the pupil, a list of questions, fully covering the text, has been given at the end of each Chapter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Preservation of the Health of Body and Mind All questions connected with the preservation of health have been already so fully and ably discussed, that it requires, on the part of a new candidate for public favour, the exercise of no little ingenuity in order to impart to such investigations the character either of novelty or of interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Care of the Body Professor Metchnikoff has settled this question for us in his Nature of Man, by deciding that the healthy individual should live to the age of one hundred and forty. It is his suggestion that no death occurs in the proper fashion, which should be of all the parts equally - as in the historic disruption of the Deacon's Masterpiece but that it always ensues prematurely from actual disease of one or more systems of the body, and that therefore a genuinely healthy man does not exist. Accepting his arguments, death at one hundred and forty is the only possible certificate of health, and in the absence of any such phenomenon we are led to conclude that health is an unattainable ideal.

Download or read book The Laws of Life and Health Classic Reprint written by Alexander Bryce and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laws of Life and Health A healthy organism is one which can adapt itself and go on adapting itself - both in structure and function, to its surroundings; and Of all organised beings man displays the greatest ability to adjust himself to his environment. The human family has the power to remain in perfect health in the coldest of Arctic regions and in the hottest of tropical zones; the highest of mountains and the lowest of valleys are compatible with health within limits. This implies that a healthy frame is one which has a good construction, capacity for endurance, self-control (not only physical but mental and emotional), and ability to resist all sorts of injurious influences. The actual signs, however, of this condition are SO illusory and so liable to misinterpretation that it Is wise to fall back upon a more general definition, and probably the best is, that health is the harmonious adaptation of the body to its environment. This fulfils every requirement, and is in accordance with the Spencerian doctrine that life is the continual adjustment of inner relations to outer relations. Health and disease are different aspects Of the same body, definite results flowing from definite conduct, just as good and evil in the moral world have the same physical substratum and one or the other will arise according to the actions Of the individual.

Download or read book The Human Body and Health written by Alvin Davison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Human Body and Health: An Elementary d104-Book of Essential Anatomy, Applied Physiology, and Practical Hygiene for Schools The most noted of England's prime ministers said, The first duty of the statesman is, the health of the people. One of our own statesmen asserts that the greatest asset of this nation is the health of its citizens. Inasmuch as recent science has shown clearly the cause and prevention of many diseases, it is important that this knowledge should form a part of every individual's equipment for the duties of life. The greatest enemies of the human race are microbes, which annually lay prostrate in this country and Europe seventy million people, of whom three million die. The microbes feeding on human blood have caused the destruction of armies and the downfall of a nation. On this account a knowledge of these infinitely small forms of life is of vast importance. Since the foundation of many diseases is laid during child hood, and since new ideas are accepted most readily in youth, every boy and girl during school years should be carefully and thoroughly instructed as to the cause of human wretched ness and the means of preventing it. The numerous text books on elementary physiology have largely neglected the discussion of facts relating to public health. As a result not one in a hundred graduates of our public schools could state any evidence showing whether vaccination is beneficial or harmful, or describe how malaria, diphtheria, and yellow fever are acquired, and how they may be prevented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Health of the Skin To some this may appear to be a very simple affair, but when we consider that the health of the skin bears so close a relation to the health of the body it will be seen that the subject at once assumes an interest and an importance of its own. The skin is a barometer, and varies in its aspect as the bodily condition of the patient may vary. What first meets the eye of the physician when he visits his patient? The face - and the conditions of weakness or of strength can be quickly noted by look ing at the patient's face. It is this first glance which tells the Observer a tale of suffering or Of ease, of illness or of health.

Download or read book The Graefenberg Manual of Health Classic Reprint written by Graefenberg Company and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Graefenberg Manual of Health In Physiology this outsetting difficulty is farther enhanced by the consideration of the myriad agencies, material and spiritual, which play their part in producing the processes of the vitally endowed machine - the minute shades of electric influence, of light and heat, of air and aliment, of 'sound and objects of sight, of smell and subjects of touch, and, last not least, of the mind, at once the despot and the slave of its crumbling envelop, the body. Nothing but that divine spark within us, which kin dles the desire of knowledge, and lightens the oftentimes dark ened path of the student of physical science, could ever afford the necessary courage to face the array of obstacles in the way of his attainment of that portion of it which includes the pheno mena of its vitality, if his aim is to seek the truth, and not the corroboration of speculative opinions. That these last have always abounded in Physiology, is not therefore so much to be wondered at. The constantly broken chain of facts made sim ilar breaks in that of causality, and loose analogies or imperfect inductions were too tempting, in the dearth of stronger concate nations, not to be seized upon, and erected into irrefragable dog mas. From hermes Tmsnsors'rvs, and his idea of the nature of Life, down to the end of the seventeenth century, when Wuv'r'r and the Vitalists flourished, we accordingly find all kinds of speculations, advanced as inevitable truths, touching the functions of the living body, some of them ingenious, most of them extravagant, and none of them deduced from experiments.

Download or read book The Story of the Human Body written by Daniel Lieberman and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark book of popular science that gives us a lucid and engaging account of how the human body evolved over millions of years—with charts and line drawings throughout. “Fascinating.... A readable introduction to the whole field and great on the making of our physicality.”—Nature In this book, Daniel E. Lieberman illuminates the major transformations that contributed to key adaptations to the body: the rise of bipedalism; the shift to a non-fruit-based diet; the advent of hunting and gathering; and how cultural changes like the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions have impacted us physically. He shows how the increasing disparity between the jumble of adaptations in our Stone Age bodies and advancements in the modern world is occasioning a paradox: greater longevity but increased chronic disease. And finally—provocatively—he advocates the use of evolutionary information to help nudge, push, and sometimes even compel us to create a more salubrious environment and pursue better lifestyles.
