The handouts available on the website are indicated in the text by the icon W. All the handouts are stored in a format which ensures that they can be printed out easily. The book is divided into four main parts: Part 1 addresses the issues of self-care and individuals' responsibilities for managing their own health safely and sensibly Part 2 looks at developing good habits and introduces protocols to help individuals to establish a healthy lifestyle Part 3 deals with cahnging risky behaviours and looks particularly at protocols for dealing with drug and alcohol abuse, smoking and stress Part 4 is concerned with managing individual lifestyles to reduce the risk of life-threatening diseases such as stroke, heart attack, osteoporosis, cancer, obesity and diabetes.
