Dr. Shiv Kumar Sarin Releases Health Guide Book

Dr. Shiv Kumar Sarin launched his book, 'Own Your Body: A Doctor’s Life-Saving Tips', in Chennai, emphasizing the importance of disease prevention over treatment. He highlights the need for individuals to understand their health and hereditary risks, suggesting families create an inheritance tree of illnesses to better identify potential health issues. The book, containing 21 real-life stories of patients, aims to raise awareness about diseases that may emerge unexpectedly, such as high blood pressure. Additionally, there is a growing recognition of the interconnectedness of mental and physical health in workplace settings, as advocated by Lisa Sharman from St John Ambulance, who calls for a more comprehensive approach to workplace first aid that includes mental health considerations. This shift is strategic, as proactive health measures can lead to reduced incidents and improved employee well-being. Overall, both articles underscore the importance of awareness and preventive measures in health management.
