What I liked in this book is the first part dedicated to "Major Agers" such as genes, oxidation, toxins, sugar, overeating, hormones, UV radiation, etc. This part, consisting of about 300 pages scientifically discusses all the aging factors, and the ways of dealing with them. UV radiation is named as the "major ager", so please keep that in mind the next time you head for the beach. On the other hand the authors also point out the many benefits of sun radiation. As usual, moderation is the answer... Not to be missed is Chapter 16, titled "The Fourteen Day You Extend Warranty Plan". It starts with the following "Daily YOU-Do List": 1. Walk thirty minutes 2. "Floss and brush the teeth that you wish to keep" 3. Take your pills (Omega-3s, vitamins, calcium supplements, aspirin, etc) 4. Sleep 7-8 hours 5. Meditate for 5 minutes Is that all? I would never suspect it is THAT simple...
This was a good gift at a good price. Dr. Oz always has good info and it is written in an easy to understand format. This will be a book that will be read and used over and over. And it will change your life!
Great writing style. Haven't had a chance w/ the holidays approaching to dive in head 1st - but what I have read is written with enthusiasm. Draws you into what 's normally been written in the old boring textbook manner - to re-think things in a whole new light. To see with new eyes, & a dash of lighthearted humor. Love the resemblance of the adorable little drawings depicted along the journey. TRUE teachers inspire their students. Dr. Roizen & Dr.Oz are true teachers in every sense of the word.
The book is a must have -- Dr. Oz is so wise and insightful and the information is sound. The experience of buying it at a discounted price on overstock.com and having it delivered for free made it even more enjoyable!
This book is very informative and fun to read. It's written with funny drawings that make it easy to understand. I truly enjoyed reading this book.

I think this is the best book Dr. Oz has written yet. There is lots of useful information.
A good book! Would recommend anyone who wants an alternative to Rx and chemicals to achieve good health/ live balance will find it useful.
This is the sixth copy I have purchased fro Overstock. I am giving a copy to everyone I love. It has great information! so far, the reponse has been great. I am sure it is not the last copy I will purchase.
This book is packed full of helpful information to consider as we age. Sometimes the tone of the book and cartoons in it may look silly but the bulk of the information appears solid and well thought out. I suppose it could otherwise be a boring subject to read. It is nonetheless packed with wisdom and the only conundrum that remains is how to incorporate them all into my life!
This is a great source of infromation, in an easy it access format. Also contains amusing anticdotes. If you would follow all the great advise, I am sure that your health, and overall activity would improve. I would reccomend this book to anyone concerened about how to live to a HEALTHY older age.
Great book, easy to read but full of useful information. Felt like reading Health for Dummies or something like that but with actual info you could use. Part of a gift I gave my husband for his birthday. He is actually reading it and enjoying it too! Would recommend for older adults.
Lots of good ideas for maintaining and improving your health.
Technical medical jargon can be complicated and boring, this book filters the medical side to alllow the reader solve the puzzles of the complexities of our body. The chapters offers an insiders understanding of the complex make up bodies systems and what is necessary to take care of ourselves to maintain a quality of life. Worth taking the time to read, we certainly don't take the time to eat and exercise properly, so why not relax and entertain yourself to age longer and smarter.
Dr. Mehmet Oz is a hero of mine, and this book does not disappoint. I hesitated about buying it because I have so many self -help books already. This book however has reached across my synapses like no other and I've found myself understanding the body better than I ever have - and I'm a nurse! During the process of reading "You - An Owner's Manuel", I was reading another book "The Wellness Solution" by author Dr. Taub, and the two are well syncronized to work together. Nitric Oxide is the fountain of youth, as both books have rated it highly for improved health. I am now a nasal breather to improve my intake of NO, and I am living my life with an increased attention to being the loving person I was born to be.
I bought this for my friend as a gift, and read it after she finished it. We both enjoyed the read and discovered a lot of new information .
The book is interesting for the lay person but a bit too elementary for anyone having any knowledge of health care.
If everyone knew all this information and practiced all the advise then insurance companies would not be so rich while everyone's health continues to decline. The info is presented in a way that anyone can understand how their body works and how to improve its' function.
This book was very informative. I truly enjoyed reading it and found it to be very entertaining as well. The layout of the book was easy to follow and did not bore you with just words. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking a lifestyle change and who has interest in health and overall wellbeing.
Wonderful book. Learned so much. Will be a great tool to staying young and healthy. A must read for everyone who cares about their physical and mental health.
This Dr. Oz (of Oprah fame) publication arrived in great shape and in plenty of time for Christmas. The book contains a multitude of practical tips for healthy and active aging. I purchased it for my kids, who are approaching the big 4-0, but I have my own copy too.
