This Book May Save Your Life is a funny book by a popular NHS surgeon, showing truthful and scientific ways to feel better. The book’s chapters covers:

- Sight
- Hearing
- Taste
- Touch
- Genitals
- Bugs
- Death!
Let me describe my job in non-medical terms. I slice into people when they’re asleep (with their consent) and remove things. I should stress that I’m one of the good guys, because despite missing some stuff from their bodies, they feel better as a result. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the blessing of witnessing miracles and tragedies. I’ve come to appreciate that the human body is both a wonder of biology and a total death-trap.
Throughout the book, you’ll find ‘save yourself’ health hacks. I’ve no intention of reminding you to blink and breathe. His tips include:
- Eating healthy foods that you like
- Drinking around 2 litres of water daily
- Taking regular exercise
- No cigarettes (nor vaping)
- Little or no alcohol
The book then goes through each organ of the body, with quick fixes (and a little first aid thrown in too for some chapters).
A Heart Supplement in Sustainable Packaging
Without a doubt, our heart is the most important organ, and when it stops beating, we’re gone. You should be fine in most cases without supplements. But if your GP says you need to look after your heart better, ask him or her about this supplement:
Dr Vegan HeartPro is a supplement in a metal tin, sold with refills in sustainable pouches. Formulated by expert nutritionists, this includes plant sterols to reduce LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and TV (total serum cholesterol) to help reduce risk of heart disease, along with healthy eating and regular exercise. Most users find cholesterol lowers by around 6 to 12% within 3 to 6 weeks.
Speak to your GP before replacing statins, and check with GP if pregnant/nursing or you have medical conditions or are taking medication. Keep supplements away from young children & pets. This supplement contains probiotics that are sensitive to heat, so take with a cold drink.
