The #1 bestseller that gives YOU complete control over
your body and your health
With new health studies and
advice bombarding us every day, few people know much about
what chugs, churns, and thumps throughout the miraculous
system that is the human anatomy.
YOU: The Owner's
Manual challenges preconceived notions about how the
human body works and ages, and takes you on a fascinating
grand tour of all your blood-pumping, food-digesting, and
numbers-remembering systems and organs—including the heart,
brain, lungs, immune system, bones, and sensory
organs.
In this updated and expanded edition,
America's favorite doctors, Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz,
discuss how YOU actually have control over your genes.
Discover 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.
There are also 100
questions asked by you, and answered by the experts. For
instance, do you know which of the following statements are
true?
As you increase the amount you exercise,
the rewards you gain from it increase as well.
If
you're not a smoker, you have nothing to worry about when it
comes to your lungs.
Your immune system always
knows the difference between your own cells and enemy
invaders.
The biggest threat to your arteries is
cholesterol.
Memory loss is a natural, inevitable
part of aging.
Stress is the greatest ager, and
controlling it changes which of your genes is
on.
Did you answer "true" for any of the above?
Then take a look inside. Complete with exercise tips,
nutritional guidelines, simple lifestyle changes, and
alternative approaches, YOU: The Owner's Manual
debunks myths and gives you an easy, comprehensive, and
life-changing How-To plan—as well as great-tasting and
calorie-saving recipes—that can help you live a healthier,
younger, and better life.
