Health Quizzes

This Health Quiz has been adapted from Jack Challem's complete nutritional program to prevent and reverse heart disease, arthritis, asthma, allergies ,diabetes ,obesity and many other inflammatory conditions.

Jack Challem in his book has very clearly linked all the conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, asthma, allergies ,diabetes ,obesity and many more to Inflammation(literal meaning swelling). Existence of inflammatory disorders significantly increases the risk of more serious inflammatory diseases.(Read more about this in his book Inflammation syndrome. I found it in my library)
