The docs also give detailed advice about the amounts of vitamins and other supplements we all need to obtain optimum health. Chapters focus on the heart, nervous system, digestive tract, hormones, cancer, etc. My only criticism of this manual is that I don't care for the black and white drawings that feature little elves crawling all over various human organs. There are also a couple of comic strips that I found annoying, if not outright obnoxious.
Despite this relatively innocuous descent into unsophisticated graphics, this book is one I highly recommend for basic information on the body and taking care of it. Oct 19, Shelley J rated it really liked it. There are countless self-help books ranging from diet, exercise, psychology, and the like. One of the authors has really taken advantage of this new found fame, Dr.
Oz, and leads me to some skepticism regarding future pronouncements. Yet, most of the advice and info in this book originates from sound, proven scientific data.

Most of the data herein is the culmination of hard evidence based on theory, model and proven in labs, and the anecdotal experience by two of the nations foremost physicians. There are no secret cures, steps or magic recipes here that will produce profound medical, cosmetic changes; instead information that can lead to reducing risk of developing serious disease, and small scale improvements on maintaining quality of life and potentially improving it through diligent application of sound principles.
At the end, I couldn't help but wonder why all high school children aren't exposed to something like this, in reduced form, if not the complete accounting provided here. After all, what device that we have in our life, is more important that our own bodies? I am old. Ever since I crossed the 30 year mark, I have become pretty obsessed and cautious about my health. For reasons that I cannot explain, I have been on a quest to understand what I can do to keep myself fit and healthy.
Where once upon a time I used to leg press over kgs and dead-lift for my back over kgs, today I am pretty happy with a 15 minute light jog on the treadmill followed by light weights that do not cross over 20 kgs. Where once upon a time I would guzzle down 36 eggs a given day — all with the egg white and yoke, expecting to become the next incarnation of Arnold Schwarzenegger, today I do my best to include some fruit or raw vegetable in my daily diet.
Why all these changes? Is it because of the nagging joints pain I sometimes experience because of all this extreme physical lifestyle? Is it because I found I had a cholesterol levels a bit higher than normal? Or is it because or wanting to live a healthy lifestyle? I cannot pin-point the answer but what I can say is that I am not prepared to live my life like a lifeless sack of human fat plopped on a wheel-chair with tube running all over my body and with a caring or may be sexy nurse pushing my over-weight and dying body around.
Sorry but no way. It may be the fear or my own mortality that lead me to hunt for a book, but I am glad to say I found this one. So let us review the book. And there is a chapter dedicated to cancer: how it happens, different types, and the best ways to prevent it. For instance though I have been exercising for nearly 19 years and have read every possible book related to exercising, I found a few exercises mentioned in this book that I never bothered to give importance too.
So yeah, brilliant stuff. In fact, I read in great detail only those chapters that mattered to me — like cholesterol, heart, joints and the brain. The rest, I completed them using the techniques of speed reading.
Overall Comments The medical knowledge shared in this book is simply marvelous and a great enlightenment to those who feel only the expert can understand the human body. I personally feel this is a welcome addition to my library and I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels they ought to know how to maintain the most expensive commodity they possess — their own body.
Overall rating 9 out of It's a health book written by a host of doctors, the least it can do is contain some helpful nuggets of information. As is, the book is weak. You can tell by reading it that the authors were seeking to really fulfill the needs of the elderly, older-than-fifty set but decided to attempt to broaden the book's appeal in order to try to pull in money from "You: The Owner's Manual" contains some genuinely helpful information but personally, I would consider that statement as damning by faint praise.
You can tell by reading it that the authors were seeking to really fulfill the needs of the elderly, older-than-fifty set but decided to attempt to broaden the book's appeal in order to try to pull in money from other demographics, but it doesn't work.
The information is still generally geared to the older audience and the only appeal outside that niche are attempts through "humorous" examples, puns, and allusions to Britney Spears and the like. It falls flat and either comes across as patronizing, awkward, or annoying, like an older uncle who desperately tries to "keep it cool with the kids" by scouring the internet for pop culture referential knock-knock jokes.
The information, as stated, is genuinely helpful but this too should be stressed so others know what they're walking into here: anatomy and physiology are immensely complicated subjects.
This book strives to simplify it to a comprehensible level for most readers, in order to empower them to take control of their health. Skip it. And as a final note, should have been proofread by an editor better.
Tons of missing words, missing clauses, unclear sentence structure, and incorrect punctuation. But that isn't the author's fault. Dec 26, Arminzerella rated it it was ok Shelves: science , health , borrowed-from-the-library , nonfiction.
A very readable introduction to the systems of the body and how to take care of yours and increase your health and reduce aging processes. Includes a healthy dose of humor and many suggestions for diet and dietary supplements, as well as a recipe section and a crib sheet on exercise. This would be a good introduction for folks on how the different systems of their bodies work — especially people who are confused by medical jargon. This is easy to understand and fluidly written. HOWEVER, there ar A very readable introduction to the systems of the body and how to take care of yours and increase your health and reduce aging processes.
While these two authors are doctors and both have other published works, and while this is more of a pop-health title than a scholarly book, they should have included references so people could examine these studies and claims for themselves. Sep 16, Amy rated it it was amazing. I wish I would have learned biology or health with this book in high school. It makes the body so easy to understand. It reads as more of a reference book and I'll keep it around as such.
For example, I had a sore throat recently and I remembered trying a salt water gargle in the past with little success. I looked it up in the book and I realized the only quick fix to feel better was a salt water gargle with warm water a certain number of times a day.
It worked! It's also made me stick with takin I wish I would have learned biology or health with this book in high school. It's also made me stick with taking a multi-vitamin every day and with the back-up of my own Dr.
Apr 07, Marc rated it it was ok. I read the version and the recent nutritional studies have debunked much of the advice recommended by this book. This is my own fault for delaying reading a book I bought 13 years ago.
However, I would still expect to learn a bit about the human anatomy, but the content is so simplistic and rife with pop culture references and jokes that it's basically useless for this purpose as well.

My 6th grade human body picture book did a more competent job. I would have preferred to have nutritional advice that doesn't revolve around taking supplements. There is a nice cookbook at the end but I found it out of place since very little time is spent on the nutritional value of many of the ingredients compared to the time spent on supplements.
There is still a lot of good health advice, even if the version is a bit outdated, but I still would have preferred a technical book focused on helping me learn then one focused on making me laugh. Jul 02, Matt Randall rated it really liked it. I liked this book. A bunch of information on how all of your systems work together and the little changes you can make to help your body live longer.
Most of it is commonsense but there were a few nuggets of information that I really liked. Exercise and not even that much can make a huge difference. Diet is becoming one of the biggest factors. In my limited understanding, nutrition is a science that is grossly misunderstood.
We were all taught things as recent as a few years ago and they turn I liked this book. We were all taught things as recent as a few years ago and they turn out to not be true. One week eggs are bad, wait now they are good.
We received so much wrong or conflicting information, most of us have simply given up. However, I do think that everyone should research more about it. Over the past couple of years some really interesting and pertinent exploration is happening all around us. Nov 10, Kelley rated it liked it. E-mail address. Remember login.
