man and mechanic Man and His Machine

An introduction...

Man #1 has been around for a very long time. As the proud owner of the latest model you’ll be keen to keep it in top condition. With a little care your high performance machine will last you a long lifetime with minimal need for maintenance or spare parts. But like any sophisticated piece of high technology, your body will respond best to a basic understanding of what goes on underneath the bonnet.

In truth, men are more likely to look after their cars than their own bodies. Of course, NCTs are also required by law for your car but there is no such equivalent for the driver. However, many illnesses can be prevented and with early diagnosis, successfully treated. Cancer is a prime example of this.

Here you will find all the information you need to keep your body humming like a finely tuned engine, so you can reduce your risk, and where possible, prevent cancer. It also gives you the tools to notice early warning signs that need to be checked out, so that little problems don’t become big problems.

These simple steps will mean you can be more than just a bog standard model. You can be more, much more. You can be a highly tuned man machine. And you might just reach retirement age as a highly prized vintage model in A1 order.
