An Ounce of Prevention – Especially for Women, though well-received, has created a clamour for a book that addressed male health concerns specifically.

The discipline of writing a weekly column in the premier Jamaican daily newspaper, the Gleaner for over fifteen years has been very useful.

It has caused me to focus on presenting a clear and practical message on specific issues of health and wellness in approximately a thousand words.

This book, An Ounce of Prevention – Mainly for Men is a compilation of those messages with the male reader, particularly in mind.

Some important topics in the earlier book that apply to both men and women have been updated and presented along with new subjects in four sections titled: Healthy Ideas, Healing Agents, Danger Areas, and Common Complaints.

A fifth section – Male Issues – focuses exclusively on matters of relevance to men. Close to 100 subjects are covered in these five sections.
