More DescriptionUSE OF JINGLES: This book uses jingles to convey information needed to remember how to live a happier and more rewarding life. The jingles are followed by medical explanations to expand on the meaning and effect of advice contained in the jingle. All advice is for self-help and self-prevention, not necessarily requiring visits to the doctor's office. It is amazing what one can do to avoid the cost of hospitals and medical treatments! The jingle stanzas, all 442 of them, convey in a memorable way much of what a person can do to avoid many costly procedures. The book is 298 pages in length with 19 chapters. IN FOUR PARTS: This book consists of four parts. Part I (Informative Jingles) introduces jingles and informs us of their use and usefulness as a way to help remember or recall important self-care advice. Part II (Preventative) describes ways to prevent serious diseases. Part III (Curative) provides advice on self-care for memory improvement, better sleep, less stress, fewer colds and headaches, heart disease, strokes, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's. Part IV (Redemptive) provides access to an index of jingles (page267) a glossary of terms (page 285), a description of chapters (page 293), and lists of other medical websites.THE JOY OF JINGLES: The rhythmic nature and sing-song character of a jingle is enough by itself to praise its format. But the joy is in its ease of recall, and in knowing that medical advice stems from the finest medical institutions in the United States.
