About this ebook
The #1 bestseller that gives YOU complete control over your body and your health.
In this updated and expanded edition, America's favorite doctors, Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, discuss how YOU actually have control over your genes. Discover how diseases start and how they affect your body—as well as advice on how to prevent and beat conditions that threaten your quality of life.
YOU: The Owner's Manual challenges preconceived notions about how the human body works and ages, and takes you on a fascinating grand tour of all your blood-pumping, food-digesting, and numbers-remembering systems and organs—including the heart, brain, lungs, immune system, bones, and sensory organs.
There are also 100 questions asked by you, and answered by the experts. For instance, do you know which of the following statements are true?
- As you increase the amount you exercise, the rewards you gain from it increase as well.
- If you're not a smoker, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to your lungs.
- Your immune system always knows the difference between your own cells and enemy invaders.
- The biggest threat to your arteries is cholesterol.
- Memory loss is a natural, inevitable part of aging.
- Stress is the greatest ager, and controlling it changes which of your genes is on.
Did you answer "true" for any of the above? Then take a look inside. Complete with exercise tips, nutritional guidelines, simple lifestyle changes, and alternative approaches, YOU: The Owner's Manual debunks myths and gives you an easy, comprehensive, and life-changing How-To plan—as well as great-tasting and calorie-saving recipes—that can help you live a healthier, younger, and better life.
Be the best expert on your body!

Acknowledgments
Lisa, Gary, and Ted made this book possible—and much more fun. While it may be unusual to say that the hours of book research and writing were as much fun as a party, we often felt that they were. Each delivered what they promised, when they promised it. Lisa always made us remember the stronger gender, helped redirect us toward a more upbeat, hip book, and pushed for Ted as our collaborator. Ted has a remarkable ability to embrace complex medical topics and make them fun; when he said something would be done, it was. We could not be bigger fans and admirers of his remarkable talents. Gary’s off-the-beaten-track genius came to life with stunning pictures that made us work even harder to match his creativity. Our agent Candice Fuhrman’s level head and insightful comments and negotiations brought this book to life.
We also want to thank the group at HarperCollins who keep believing in us, and who are just great to work with: Shelby Meizlik and especially Kathryn Huck—she made herself available and is clearly a rising star.
We also want to thank the many patients and the thousands of people who sent questions, notes, cards, and e-mails that inspired many of the thoughts in this book, and, of course, the FAQs. We now receive eight hundred thank-you e-mails a day on our Web site (www.RealAge.com/youdocs). Nothing could motivate us more. Thank you.
Joel Harper provided the inspiration and perspiration for the new workouts added in this edition—we are appreciative and younger due to his additions.
Finally, we wish to express our gratitude for the many hours of work he created, the great friend who brought us together—Craig Wynett. Besides being a world-class wit, Craig has a remarkable grasp of what the world needs that made him the mentor of many others before us. He took the time to connect the dots that we could not envision and provided advice that helped shape the direction of our book. Please blame him if you are unhappy with your purchase.
Mike’s Acknowledgments
I am grateful to the many other people who did not discard the e-mails asking them for help. Dr. Jon Walters, a physician who doubles as a home makeover expert, seemed to find time to read as he drove from Pittsburgh
