About the Book

Healthy Body is Dr. George Pamplona-Roger’s guide to the structure, function and care of the human body. It explains how the major organs and systems work together and gives practical recommendations for keeping each one healthy — written as a reference for everyday readers, not a textbook.

What’s inside Healthy Body

The premise is that people look after what they understand. Most health advice tells you what to do without explaining what it does; this book explains the body first, system by system, and lets the advice follow from that.

It is illustrated to Safeliz’s reference standard, and it is the companion to Healthy Foods — one explains the body, the other explains what to feed it.

  • How the major organs and body systems function
  • Practical advice for keeping each system healthy
  • Principles of prevention before treatment
  • Illustrated anatomy for general readers
  • Reference format for quick lookup
  • Written from medical practice

Who this book is for

For any household wanting a home health reference, and for readers who want to understand their own bodies before changing how they treat them. It is used by health ministry teams and it suits students.

It is a reference rather than a read-through. Most people consult it by system.
