Musiata Akafekwa's rendition and original work, 'The Art of Preserving Health: A Poem,' is a contemporary take on the classic 1744 long-form poem by John Armstrong. In this updated version, Akafekwa provides a fresh perspective on how to maintain one's health and preserve longevity through a focus on balance, moderation, and a natural way of life.

Through his own original verses and a reimagining of Armstrong's work, Akafekwa emphasizes the importance of keeping a healthy mind and body in the modern world. He offers practical advice on exercise, diet, and sleep, while advocating for the avoidance of excesses in all aspects of life.

Divided into four books, Akafekwa's rendition and original work explore the nature of health, the impact of the environment, the importance of a healthy diet and exercise, and the role of sleep in maintaining good health. Akafekwa's contemporary approach to this timeless subject matter makes this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their physical and mental health in today's world."
