Between your full-length mirror and college biology class, you probably
think you know a lot about the human body.
While it's true that we live
in an era when we're as obsessed with our bodies as we are obsessed
with celebrity clothing, the truth is that most of us know very little
about what chugs, thumps and churns throughout this miraculous,
scientific system of anatomy. Yes, you've owned your skin-covered shell
for many years, but you probably know more about your frequent flyer
plan than you do about your own body. When it comes to your longevity
and quality of life, grasping the meaning of your internal systems
gives you the power, authority, and ability to live a better, healthier
and
younger life.

the human body works and ages, then takes you on a tour through all of
the back roads, highways and landmarks inside of you. After taking a
short quiz that tests your body of knowledge, you willl learn about all
of your food-digesting, blood-pumping and keys-remembering organs and
systems and .
Just as important, you'll get the advice you need in order to keep your
body running long and strong. You willl discover how diseases begin and
how they affect your body - as well as advice on how to prevent and
beat situations that threaten your quality of life. Stuffed with
exercise guidelines, nutritional tips , simple lifestyle changes, and
alternative approaches, You: The Owner's Manual gives you a
comprehensive, easy and life-changing how-to plan for warding off the
gremlins of aging. To top it off, you willl also get the great-tasting
and calory-saving Owner's Manual Diet - a forty-recipe eating plan
that's formed with only one goal in mind: to help you live a younger
life.
