Book description
International bestselling authors of YOU: The Owner's Manual and YOU:
On a Diet give you all the tools and know-how to stay young and defy the
ageing process. Drawing lively parallels between your body and aspects
of city life, Drs Roizen and Oz show you how to balance your 'biological
budget' to ensure your life is long and strong.
Million-copy-bestselling authors, Michael F. Roizen, M. D. and Mehmet
C. Oz, M. D., explain the mysteries of ageing and how you can
dramatically slow the process to live a longer, more vibrant life.
Written with their irrepressible quirky humour and granite-solid
research, YOU: Staying Young is set to become the definitive manual to
remaining young, fit and healthy.
If your body is a city, the authors explain, it is up to you as mayor,
resident and street cleaner to ensure it remains a vibrant city - after
all, who wants to live in a run-down, one-horse town? We all have
different genes that influence us in same the way as cities are affected
by different geographies. However, it is the way in which a city is run
and the residents treat it that have the most overwhelming influence.
Posing as local inspectors, Roizen and Oz club together to tackle your
city's education system (stem cells), power plants (mitochondria),
electrical grids (brains), transportation routes (blood vessels),
landfills (fat), and parks (skin). They then give you the tools to clean
up your act and turn your city back into the cutting-edge, party
destination everybody will want to see.
Look after your body and it will look after YOU. Michael F. Roizen,
