Between your full-length mirror and high-school biology
class, you probably think you know a lot about the human
body. While it's true that we live in an age when we're as
obsessed with our bodies as we are with celebrity
hairstyles, the reality is that most of us know very little
about what chugs, churns, and thumps throughout this
miraculous, scientific, and artistic system of anatomy.
Yes,
you've owned your skin-covered shell for decades, but you
probably know more about your cell-phone plan than you do
about your own body. When it comes to your longevity and
quality of life, understanding your internal systems gives
you the power, authority, and ability to live a healthier,
younger, and better life.
You: The Owner's Manual challenges your preconceived
notions
about how the human body works and ages, then takes you on
a
tour through all of the highways, back roads, and landmarks
inside of you. After taking a quiz that tests your body of
knowledge, you'll learn about all of your blood-pumping,
food-digesting, and keys-remembering systems and organs.
Just as important, you'll get the facts and advice you need
to keep your body running long and strong. You'll find out
how diseases start and how they affect your body -- as well
as advice on how to prevent and beat conditions that
threaten your quality of life. Complete with exercise tips,
nutritional guidelines, simple lifestyle changes, and
alternative approaches, You: The Owner's Manual gives you
an
easy, comprehensive, and life-changing how-to plan for
fending off the gremlins of aging. To top it off, you'll
also get the great-tasting and calorie-saving Owner's
Manual
Diet -- a thirty-recipe eating plan that's designed with
only one goal in mind: to help you live a younger life.
Welcome to your body. Why don't you come on in and take a
look around?
