I received The Checklist: What You and Your Family Need to Know to Prevent Disease and Live a Long and Healthy Life by the man about the Internet, Dr. Manny Alvarez.

You may recall there was a big media promotion about this book all over the Internets. and, Dr. Alvarez and his book were everywhere.

It's a guide to family health and illness prevention arranged by decade. I think some of the advice is pretty general, but, it makes a good overview and outline of what's important in each life phase. It's well written, and, easy to understand. There are periodic "Ask Dr. Manny" sidebars where he answers reader questions, and, he has a website by the same name.

Kudos to Dr. Manny for his stance on lung cancer screening, though some people will disagree, we don't have answers, yet, about the best way to screen people for lung cancer, but, there are people working on it.

The Checklist: will make a good edition to your home health and reference library.
