All of us are responsible, at least in part, for our future health and well-being, which depend to a great extent from the behaviour in which we engage today. Health, in fact, is a set of elements that evolve and reproduce themselves in an ongoing relationship stretching from the past into the future, involving both psychology and biology. This book deals not only with physical exercise, eating habits, and sleep quality - which are crucial features for our welfare - but also with topics such as psychic balance, interest in life and concern for the future.
