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.

Muy buena lectura

No sé qué esperaba, pero puedo decir que el contenido de este libro resultó muy instructivo, son mencionar que los autores hacen muy agradable el tiempo que uno lo escucha.

Ok

I love Dr.Oz but I don’t like this book because I could care less about celebrities and in every chapter they were brought up! Whooooo cares! So for that not for me!

Informative

well tead. Very informative. As a health care provider...I took notes and learned a lot!

Everyone must read/listen to this

I've bought some hardcopies to give to family members. It makes a good gift, especially when folks are inspired by new year's resolutions to make lifestyle changes. I read/listen to this at least twice a year.

OK Book

The audio book was ok. It contained usefull info, but a lot of bla bla. The authors go into depth about each organ and how each functions (enough to put you to sleep) and they make a lot of cheesy comparisons (every two minutes throughout the entire 8 hour session). In my opinion, 75% fat and 25% lean info.

Good

I liked it, but it's difficult to digest and retain all the action plan details. The action plans are where you act upon what you just learned. It's these parts of the book that are the most valuable, but are also least conducive to the audio format. I learned a lot, but have forgotten most of the steps I should take to live healthier.
