Morton E Tavel, MD has channelized his lifetime knowledge to curate a non-fictional medical self-help book, "Health Tips, Myths and Tricks: A Physician's Advice," with the solitary motive of ameliorating every reader's physical wellness. Performing a remarkable job, the author lambasts the universally believed misconceptions and gives expedient solutions for the prevalent day-to-day and chronic maladies.

The educative book is strategically divided into three portions. Section "Tips" incorporates thirty-two chapters and unveils the truth about coffee, dark chocolate, electronic cigarettes, artificial sweeteners(Aspartame, Sucralose, Saccharin), dietary supplements(Belviq, Orlistat, Qsymia), nasal allergies, green tea, cranberries, etc. Epigallocatechin gallate is the most active flavonol present in Camellia Sinensis or green tea, which ensures good cardiovascular health, insulin utilization, and cholesterol absorption. The threshold amount for those food entities is also described whose consumption will prove to be somewhat detrimental if more than the specified amount is ingested.

Section "Myths" accommodates twenty chapters. Here the readers are discouraged to adhere to any weight loss programs, supplements, and health advice without scrutinizing them to its core. This portion rectifies the fictitious claims and suggestions which do not have any scientific background. Several hypothetical theories regarding Genetically Modified food, gluten-free diet, pap smear, colonoscopy, soft water, arsenic-infused rice, probiotics, and energy drinks are unmasked.

The fragment "Tricks" comprehensively delineates the measures to stay away from quackery-infested stratagems. The ten chapters in this fragment display the working mechanism of deliberately designed artifices that retails toxic or useless products in exchange for myriads of cash. The book spreads general awareness to recognize irrational norms spread by media and advertisement authorities

This well-crafted medical book elucidates the significance of leaving incessant bad habits and toxic food articles like trans fat. Trans fat increases Low-Density Lipids in the human body and thus saturated fats are proclaimed as their healthy alternatives. The professional advice provided in the book is backed up by the author's medical background, trustworthy research paperwork, and most reliable scientific database. The treatise explores broad spectral areas of the health sector, from unscientific claims to UTI, immunoglobulins to insulin, salt intake to supplements, organic food to omega-3-fatty acids.

The author has done incredible work to fabricate this eclectic knowledgeable substance testified with concrete pieces of evidence. The material deciphers sustainable and effective restorative cures to afflictions. Moreover, it persuades people to dissect all quick-fixing schemes and pharmaceutical claims, which promise to change their conditions to 180 degrees in an instant. This reference book gives straightforward true-to-the-core answers to all the mentioned ailments, which is comparatively more feasible than the tedious process of finding answers on search engines. The narrator has eloquently used medical parlance in the text. However, to make the elements more comprehensible, simple language is stated along with the biological nomenclature. At the end of every chapter, the conclusion is mentioned, to sum up, the highlights of the chapter.

Even though the book is almost flawlessly edited, meaningless symbols of π(pi) and o(omicron) are discerned in the title of each chapter. The feature that bothered me the most was the author's outlook on alternative branches of medicine. The text disturbingly displays them as charlatans. These blatant adjectives sound demeaning and judgemental. Besides this annoying attribute, the top-notch quality of this persuasive sterling subject matter proved to embark a great impression on my hippocampus.

I would give a solid 4 out of 4 to this fact-embedded volume.

Good health is the foundation of leading a geometrically progressive life and this piece of content will surely act as a catalyst in the betterment of a personage's life. This book is a perfect resource for providing a plethora of valuable lessons for fitness enthusiasts and those individuals who wish to strengthen their natural defense mechanisms.

I've been reading reviews of this book for the past five years. Maybe it's time I read it. Did the pandemic negate anything in it?

Not at all, rather the content's information proved to be more efficacious, if anything in this COVID situation.
