A book stating simply THAT WE NEED TO POOP, AND WE NEED TO DO IT NICE AND OFTEN! His book, “Can We Live 150 Year”, talks about all the aspects of healthy life style, starting from the proper care of the spine, via proper breathing, dieting, and exercising, to keeping toxins out of one’s intestines, kidneys, liver, and blood. For one, it educates the reader in the inner workings of the human body. Not until doctors Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen came up with “You: The Owner’s Manual”. Congratulations! In short, just a very informative book that is successful in achieving several goals. Its simple recipes are each meant to benefit a certain body system, such as Tomato Bruschetta, packed with the antioxidant lycopene, which has been proven to boost immunity. I would have liked the pictures to be labeled correctly, not with funny made up names for body parts. The great point in the presentation is the book is written in laymans terms and you would not have to be a graduate of Harvard to understand its contents. Each chapter focuses on a body part or system (heart, brain, digestive, reproductive, etc.) and discusses diseases associated with it; genetic and lifestyle influences on its aging process; and foods, supplements and habits that can prevent or reverse related illnesses.

They also reveal plenty of bizarre (and potentially life-saving) facts such as this: If your earlobe has a prominent vertical wrinkle, it’s likely that your arteries are aging faster than they ought to be. A book dealing with health and longevity, written in an easy-to-understand language. Even Cheers’ Cliff Claven types who think they know it all will likely be humbled by the 50-question “body-quotient” quiz that starts off the book. Its simple recipes are each meant to benefit a certain body system, such as Tomato Bruschetta, packed with the antioxidant lycopene, which has been proven to boost immunity. With much sassy humor (they describe the adrenals as similar in shape to Mr. Potato Head’s hat), they give a guided tour of the body’s anatomy and major systems (hormonal, nervous, digestive, sensory, etc.) including plenty of fascinating trivia along the way.
I was wondering whether an American author will ever write a book with this kind of content. While there is a lot information, I really would like to have seen a reference section at the end of the book. A book dealing with health and longevity, written in an easy-to-understand language. However, up until now I did not come across any other author tackle this problem. A very informative presentation of just how our body works, filled with humorous narrative and drawings and tells it like it is. To that end, they’ve included an “Owner’s Manual Diet,” a 10-day menu plan designed not for weight loss, but to make you feel “years younger.” I highly recommend this hardback book to everyone who is interested in the workings of their anatomy and much can be learned from this reading. Not until doctors Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen came up with “You: The Owner’s Manual”. Congratulations! While there is a lot information, I really would like to have seen a reference section at the end of the book.

Despite a 10-day, 30-recipe food plan and a less-is-more exercise regime, however, readers may have trouble using the information to create a lifestyle that will fulfill the authors’ promise of weight loss, disease prevention and longevity. “You: The Owner’s Manual” is a book that everyone should buy and own. After taking the quizzes in the book, readers may feel shocked by their ignorance of basic anatomy and the processes required to maintain physical and mental functioning.
