I have all four books by these two brilliant physicians. This one is geared toward those entering their senior years. Again, they describe how your body ages, processes food, and reacts to exercise in easy to understand but very specific terms. Humorous, too. With fun illustrations. This book will tell you exactly WHY all that fat you eat and lack of exercise is killing you. More important, it tells you HOW to start with small changes, and work up to a healthier lifestyle as you age. The main message from Drs. Oz and Roizen is this: It is never too late to start a healthy lifestyle. Don't use age as an excuse. Sixty-five isn't old! I highly recommend all their books, but if you have an older parent that could use some guidance, this is a great gift.
After reading the first two books from these two fine doctor's I wanted to know what the next step would be in my personal quest for good health. I wanted to keep and improve the best health I have today by identifying what could I do better tomorrow? The knowledge shared by both Dr's Oz and Roizen, viewing the person as a complete entity; body, mind and spirit are invaluable. In knowing that, we take responsibility of our own well being. It is a great combination of cutting edge medical and alternative/holistic advice from 2 doctor's who practice what they preach! The only improvement for future books would I'd like to see could be a cleaner format style. I found the "handmade" style of drawings and illustrations sometimes distracting. A minor criticism in weighing the balance of good sound advice.Read full review
The book is challenging to pharmaceutical chemical sourced products and offers great coverage of alternative natural therapy. It is easy reading, and will provide a road map to testing remedies to ailments not otherwise readily available in the public domain (for obvious reasons which goes counter to the profit interests of the phapmaceutical industry). Highly recommended to achieve an improved quality of life.
Super informative, fun to read...easy to understand. Roizen and Oz do a wonderful job of making the human body easy to understand and interesting....humorous in getting their point across....the information is credible and understated. Very good reading that I would recommend to anyone wanting to improve their health and wellbeing or just to understand how the human body functions.
Great book
