Dr Vikram Venkateshwaran
Own Your Health by Dr Vikram Venkateshwaran is a perfect health guide. The book is organised into three sections, first one is about health. I really liked this section, it discussed about mental health, physical health hygiene. The importance of yoga, nutrition, and many more are discussed in this part.
The second section is about the healthcare industry. The most interesting chapter is machine learning and analytics in health care. There were other topics such as telemedicine and healthcare system. The final section is about the initiatives by government.
My thoughts on this book: We can call this a health guide. There are many information and insight we can benefit from this book. I am not a person who enjoy reading non fiction but this one was not bad. Overall it is a good book, a complete health guide.

The best thing that has happened due to the corona virus pandemic is the increased focus on health and immunity by individuals and governments alike. I recently came across this amazing book on health called Own Your Health. It is a very insightful and comprehensive book covering not only what an individual can do to maintain good health but also what the health care system and governments can do for it.
Written by a doctor, this book can be a reliable guide for the readers. It covers topics like mental health, exercise, diet, which vitamins should be regularly checked and how not to become a victim of the twin white collar diseases - diabetes and hypertension and much more when it comes to individual health. It is a short book packed with complete knowledge one can require to own their health.
Totally recommended to one and all!

In this book, author tells us the importance of monitoring our health regularly and helps us to detect issues that can become serious problems later on. He also follows 8*8*8 principle i.e. drink 8 glasses of water, 8 hours of sleep and 8 kms of walk.
Our health is in our hands, we can either make it or break it. With change in our lifestyle, and good in-depth understanding of our routine affecting our lives and reasons behind our ill health, we might just save ourselves from falling prey to such diseases.
In pandemic like this, this book gives us opportunity to comprehend our health and mindset related to it, so much better. The language is easy so anybody can read and take benefit from it. I would definitely recommend this book 🤗

- It is a self-help book that serves as a guide in achieving better health. At present, many are busy living a fast-paced life to meet their requirements and fulfill their dreams. But in the quest for more, we are neglecting our health to a point that it is affecting our mental as well as physical capacities all the while inviting numerous diseases in the early stages of our lives. The book is a medium through which the author has explained how one can use the very addictive technology to their benefit instead of letting the technology rule them.
- The author begins with a brief explanation of the healthcare system which begins with an individual's responsibility to himself/herself, followed by the healthcare industry and then the government. It then dives into nutrition, dental hygiene, physical fitness, mental health, immunity-boosting, and meditation.
The book also covers crucial topics regarding the importance of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Meditation. It focuses on preventive measures rather than curating measures as the former is more effective.
- It is a great book. It is clearly well-researched. The narration is lucid. The topics covered are all very fascinating and true. It is a factual based book that offers a lot of information on how to maintain health. it definitely an interesting read and highly recommended for those who wish to lead a better, healthier life.

The book is the result of 43 years in healthcare. The book emphasizes that we can monitor and track our own fitness and health using our smartphone, the one that we are already glued to, all day anyway.
The author has shared his personal choices of smartphone applications to track our nutrition and mental health. It gives several tips to take care of our body, also the parts like dental health and eyes, that we tend to ignore. The emphasis is to use our phone apps to monitor everything and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The book reveals that cornflakes help in opposite of weightloss and idli supports it. It asks us to avoid self-medication (that must be stopped immediately) and informs that the politicians are actually least interested in healthcare. Other information provided includes controlled and planned alcohol is okay even for diabetic people. And that we must check on our vitamin D and B12 levels as they're often the most deficient and vital nutrients required by our body.
What I didn't like- too many facts and figures, kind of made the reading bit boring. Also, it seems like several things can only be understood by medical professionals or students.

Own your health by Dr. Vikram Venkateswar
I used to hate reading Non fiction specially self help books, but it was one of my reading resolutions to venture out and try self help and it turns out I love it.
Especially self help books focusing on healthcare is something I genuinely appreciate, enjoy and recommend.
This book as title suggests encourages us to focus and own our health goals and objectives.The language and writing is pretty strong and I personally connected with the content.
The book starts by giving us information about lifestyle disorders, tests, what changes or actions we should implement in our daily lives. It talks about food, exercises, tests to be done what not.
I feel the author has done a commendable job educating us readers.
Then second half explores about Indian healthcare industry and intiatives taken by our government which is a fascinating and unique part of the book, I haven't come across any book that put forwards such useful insights and glimpse of our current health care strategies.
I am thankful for this book it's equally educational, helpful and informative.

Own Your Health : Swipe Right for Better Health is an awesome book written by Dr. Vikram Venkateswaran.
Basically the book is divided into three parts namely, Your Health, Health Care Industry and last but not the least, The Government Initiatives where the author has mainly emphasized on the various health issues. It is definitely like a guide to Heath Care and Lifestyle. The author has talked about various topics and has also included how we human beings neglect and don't pay attention towards our health due to our busy and stressful lifestyle. There are do many apps thtough which we can keep a check on our mental health and nutrition. These apps can be used in our smartphones, that we are always indulged to. The another major thing described in the book is that we should keep a constant check on Vitamin D and B12 in our body, as they are most deficient and vital nutrients.
All in all, I must admit that it is a very useful and ingormative book which gives insights about the importance of our good health. I would recommend it to everyone to read this at least once!

Own Your Health by Dr Vikram Venkateswaran is a self-help health manual that tells the readers how they improve their health by providing exact guidelines for the same.
The book is divided into seven to eight parts. In the first part of the book, the author talks about common health issues like diabetes, hypertension and hypothyroidism. He also tells us about the importance of dental hygiene along with physical and mental well being.
The book is very informative and I have learnt a lot of new things by reading it here. I was also shocked by the numerous ill-effects of a sedentary lifestyle and I follow the guidelines and try to become more active.
The author has included every aspect that is necessary for good health. The prevention techniques provided are quite easy to implement.
It is amazing how many illnesses can be avoided merely by implementing subtle changes to our lifestyle.
I really loved this book and I am glad I picked it. I believe everyone should definitely read this amazing book.

Book Review📚
⭐ My Rating - 4/5⭐
Own Your Health : Swipe Right for Better Health is a book written by Dr. Vikram Venkateswaran.
This book is package of informations that talk specifically about health and health related topics.
This book is of three different parts which focuses on our health, the health care and the initiatives that are to be taken by the government.
Author must have done a huge research about Health care, since the book proves to be effective and highly informative. There were more intense clarifications on how one should maintain his/her health with regards to the current health care system which shall be even more improvised with proper steps and initiatives by the Government.
The Cover picture looks simple and the narration was pretty good and easy to comprehend. It is rare to see a book on Health care these days. Yet this book is quite handy and good for even beginners. Overall it was a good read!!

A book that is very relevant and important in the current uncertain times. One could rarely come across a book that is so very neatly and written in simple way to drive home the point of 'owning your own health'. The author Dr.Vikram has the combination of experience and authority to write this book - as a qualified doctor and later working in advisory in a leading firm helping healthcare industry adopted to the digital journey. Author has combined both the skills to provide valuable basics on several topics concerning our health - what are the key drivers of health, what and how we can monitor, the developments that are happening in the healthcare sector that we need to be aware of and finally the govt initiatives. All packed into one. While there are plethora of books on health, diseases and hospice...this is a good short book all packed into one. One may initiate a more intense reading into each and any of the areas.

This book is very apt these days. Also as the author himself is a doctor, the informations things given are authentic and reliable. This is not a time pass.. It will help to own your health!
Own your health?
How!?
This is a simple guide to that. Many subjects like lifestyle, health, diabetes etc. The author has given many graphs and diagrams pointing towards the reality of the health.
How many of us monitor our health regularly? What parameters do we check for? How much do we understand the effect that our actions can have on our bodies?Many of us tend to make a lot of assumptions about our health based on our diet, genetics and our medical history, but sometimes forget that simple issues like a vitamin deficiency can cause a major concern.
So i recommend this for everyone. Because prevention id better than cure

It is a complete guide to health care. From food habits and diet plans to routine lifestyle, the book discusses all the parameters that keep you healthy.
It includes a lot of facts and figures, which may be boring for some, but as a medical student, many of them were really interesting to me and some of them were already known. I loved how the author has chosen to discuss about some neglected health issues, and the smartphone apps to monitor our health status was something new.
The book is divided into three parts where the first one, ‘your health’ remains as the highlight. The next two parts deal with the health care industry and initiatives by the government.
The language is lucid and the simple but descriptive narration sometimes gives the vibe of a biology textbook. Overall it is a much needed one, especially during our current situation, as health is our biggest wealth.

Just from the cover, you can guess what the book is all about. Yes, it's a health guide, and indeed a much-needed one in today's world. During our busy routine, we often tend to neglect our health, which is actually the greatest wealth. Through the book, the author suggests some simple changes to introduce in our lifestyle, so that we can lead a healthy and happy life.
The book is divided into three parts - your health, health care industry, and initiatives by the government. All three parts are equally insightful and the author’s research work is clearly visible throughout the read. Using mobile apps to monitor our health status was completely new for me.
The language is lucid, so is the narration. The cover appears simple yet effective. I would strongly recommend it to everyone who is in search of a perfect health guide.

Very Informative!
In the times of pandemic when our healthcare resources are cut to half and our frontline workers are overloaded and overtly tired, this book comes as a refreshing and informative guide for the people who are constantly paranoid about their health.
This book explains in crisp yet detailed manner that how we can decipher the signals our body sends us and yes when it's absolutely not urgent you can definitely take notes from this book and follow protocols.
Since these suggestions are coming straight from a doctor the readers need not worry about credibility as we all know what WhatsApp University did during the onset of the pandemic.
Coming to which the book will briefly explain a reader in layman terms how the healthcare services and health as a whole will play a vital role in shaping the country's health.
