健康概貌
健康概貌是对所有影响健康的因素的一个概述。要描述健康概貌，你要知道有过怎样的家庭病史，在工作时你可能面临什么不利健康的因素，你每日的饮食和推荐的标准相比之下如何，你一个星期当中花费多少时间锻炼，从事什么样的锻炼活动，你的工作和家庭环境给你造成的压力有多大，你经常得什么样的病，是否有一些不良的嗜好。为把这一切描述清楚，你应该进行一次体验，以确定你的血液 、心脏、肺功能是否正常。把这个检测作为一个基点，将以后的检验结果和它做比较。
一旦有了这样一个完整的描述，你可以开始考虑根据这个健康概貌确立优先要做的事情比如，如果你每天喝两杯马提尼酒，工作压力很大，过度肥胖，每天抽一包烟，周末偶尔食用大麻，你首先应该停止抽烟，然后减去多余的体重，减轻工作的压力，戒掉吸食大麻的习惯，最后如果你想首先预防癌症，其次预防心脏病的话，那么就该考虑一下马提尼酒里该不该喝。即使对于那些从没得过病的年轻上班族来说，他们身体很好，但认真看看自己工作和家庭生活中的全产健康习惯，做出一些调整会使其在未来受益。
