You start with the things that currently plague you, and then you keep on reading, happily passing entire afternoons absorbed in the odd and revolting things our bodies serve up...If laughter is the best medicine, a dose of Lawton ought to cure most of this stuff.'' Mary RoachOne of the many strange effects of the 2020 pandemic has been to make us much more vigilant about the state of our health in general and about minor symptoms in particular. And this, in turn, has made us more conscious that we all feel slightly out of sorts a great deal of the time; maybe even every day. This book is not about what happens when we''re ill with something sufficiently serious to send us to the doctor or confine us to bed. Instead, it focuses on the multitude of mild, irksome, distracting illnesses, aches and pains with which we all put up with constantly. Covering 120Trade ReviewGraham Lawton has created an unexpected literary genre: the compulsively readable medical reference book.

Head eggs! Meibum! If laughter is the best medicine, a dose of Lawton ought to cure most of this stuff. -- Mary RoachIt would be easy to pick an important science book on climate change or the pandemic, but we're miserable enough already, aren't we? My favourite escape from the news cycle this year was Mustn't Grumble by Graham Lawton (Headline Home). It has a simple but ingenious premise: we're all a bit ill most of the time, so what exactly is going on with our bodies? Lawton covers the science behind 100 mild ailments, such as sore throats, dead legs, dark circles under the eyes and a cricked neck. It's not important, but it is witty, compelling and deeply informed: the perfect guilty pleasure. [Best Books of the Year 2021] -- Michael Brooks * New Statesman *Science writer Graham Lawton spent months recording all his minor ailments, and then investigating why we all suffer from these daily health niggles. The result is this readable book, covering 120 minor complaints from hiccups and hay fever to piles and chilblains. * Woman's Weekly *

Book SynopsisHIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is the number-one fitness trend and is fast becoming the mainstream method for improving cardiovascular performance and radically changing body composition.
