In You Staying Young, the doctors are going to talk to you about what happens as your body ages and what you can do to maintain vibrancy throughout your entire life....more
The body is the most intriguing machine ever created, and nobody talks about it as enlightening and compelling as Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz do. In You Staying Young, the doctors discuss about what happens as your body ages. They've conducted research and will introduce fascinating and crucial information.
Aging isn't a decline of our systems, it's very purposeful. The very systems and biological processes that age us are actually designed to help us when we're younger. Our role is to learn how those systems work, so we can reprogram them to work the way they did when we were younger. Your goal: Die young at any age. Meaning live a high quality of life until the day you die. The real goal isn't just to make you live longer; it's to allow you to maintain vibrancy throughout your entire life.
They'll explain how our bodies have evolved to ensure 50 years of high quality life and how those same mechanisms can be counterproductive as you age by using the metaphor of a city to explain how the body works. Just like your body ages, a city does, too -- especially if decisions are made that negatively impact the city's health, or if too many resources and investments are used in the wrong areas and too few are used in the right areas.
The ultimate goal isn't just to keep your biological city from turning into a ghost town and keep you from dying, it's to make it vibrant, give it lots of well-managed resources, and the ability to reinvent itself in the face of changing times.
The book will be full of signature YOU methods to convey the story, including You Tests, You Tips, and visual and verbal metaphors to bring the science alive; it will be heavily illustrated in the same playful, irreverent style as the previous books. Each section of the book will introduce a theory for why we age, with a quick intro into the science that will be followed by chapters of the health issues that primarily fall under each specific theory of aging.

You Staying Young
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...

Inspirational Teaching - Staying Young
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.

You Staying Young
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!
