You Staying Young by Michael F. Roizen (Hardcover)

Description:

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.
