In a light-hearted era, why read books seriously? This book is completely unnecessary, the author tells you that it is not suitable to read when eating, and it is suitable to read when going to the toilet.
Mo Yang asked everyone a question, you usually have a small physical problem that is not very serious, what do you use to treat it? In fact, most of us search through the Internet, videos, online doctors, etc., and then go to the pharmacy to buy medicine and treat ourselves. Is this right or wrong?
Let's take a look at this "Human Body Maintenance Manual" that may have some inspiration for your physical health. The book was written by Graham Lawton, executive editor and columnist for New Scientist magazine. He graduated from Imperial College London with a BSc in Biochemistry and a MSc in Science Communication.
他于2019年入围英国新闻奖“年度科学作家”，并多次入围英国科学作家协会的奖项。 他出版过两本书：《万物起源》（The Origin of [Almost] Everything）和《这本书可以救你的命》（This Book Could Save Your Life）。
The editor-in-chief of "New Scientists" is British cold humor and hilarious science popularization, and daily small problems. stiff neck, flatulence, heartburn...... A complete list of problems with the human body, a serious, scientific and rigorous encyclopedia of heavy taste cold knowledge! A book to see through the wind and grass of the body, those irrelevant but very annoying headaches and brain fever.
As the quality of life continues to improve, we become more vigilant about our health, especially those symptoms that seem mild. They make us realize that the human body is a very fragile "precision instrument" that can go wrong at some point in many cases. In this scientific and entertaining book, science writer Graham Lawton explains the little things that go wrong in everyday life and how to deal with them correctly (and wrongly).
Reading the Human Body Maintenance Manual, you should remember that this book does not focus on the diseases that can make us go to the hospital or bed rest, but rather collects a lot of relatively minor but upsetting minor ailments, as well as those pains and torments that do not cause serious effects, but require us to endure for a long time.
Mo Yang thinks this is a self-help outpatient medical reference book. The "Human Body Maintenance Manual" is divided into six parts, which are pain, skin, ear, nose and throat, gastrointestinal, external aggression, and self-harm. In short chapters and in a new, humorous way, author Lawton presents the small problems and small phenomena that can be seen everywhere in life: from blackheads to chilblains, from cramps to hemorrhoids, from hiccups to insect stings, from hay fever to heat stroke......
You and the people around you can't tell when you're going to run into those little problems. They're annoying, but they're a good idea to be celebrated and cherished every "not perfect, but okay" day.
The author has repeatedly emphasized that he is a popular science writer, not a doctor. Therefore, this book is not qualified to provide specific medical advice. If you have a problem that is already affecting your quality of life, or if your condition is getting worse, or if you are starting to feel troubled, go straight to your doctor and don't take this advice into account.
It is said that the generals of ancient Rome would arrange for their slaves to whisper in their ears "memento mori", which means "remember, mortals die" to warn themselves not to sleep on their laurels. These little things in our bodies, they are the nagging voices in our ears, repeatedly reminding us that we are just mortal in the flesh, and that these little things will get bad one day, and that this day will come. So you rush to the physical condition so-so, you are satisfied! After all, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger.
The Human Body Maintenance Manual is an unexpected literary genre that people can't help but read all the time as a medical reference book.
Moyang is unparalleled in the world, give you a plum!
