So what if you were told that standing on one leg can have huge health benefits, a hot shower before bed can help lower your blood pressure, and eating chocolate is good for your heart? These simple things might surprise you - but they really can work.

Dr Mosley explains all of this and presents many more surprising, scientifically proven facts. He's talked to experts and road-tested all his tips to help you find that one small thing that could make a real difference to how you feel every day and, importantly, long into the future.
