Methods for monitoring and addressing your own health needs

Each of us bears the ultimate responsibility for our own health. This challenge provides a basis for developing personal health care skills. These skills can be used to assess one's own state of health, determine whether or not the services of a professional healthcare provider are necessary, and make lifestyle or nutritional adjustments that can forestall more advanced forms of medical care.
