In the words of Oprah's favorite doctor, Mehmet C. Oz, and his co-author, Michael F. Roizen, "We're not going to make the science simplistic; we're going to make it simple." Their book describes how your body works in understandable, engaging terms and gives you an easy-to-follow strategy for making adjustments that will extend your life and improve your health. Roizen and Oz take you on a tour of your body, beginning with the heart and covering all the organs. They include a realistic diet and workout plan, fun illustrations and answers to common questions. getAbstract recommends this guide to all those well-intentioned people who know they should eat right and exercise more, but want to understand why."
"Great book to read and use as a reference. It is very easy to follow and understand. I recommend it for everyone. Dr. Oz doesn't suggest anything radical, mostly common sense."
"As much as this book annoyed me, I think it is a decent read and reference point for certain audiences.
The author tried too hard to be funny. The forced humor and obscure metaphors, with few exceptions, were out of place and detracted from the overall quality and content of the book.
Serious consideration should be taken when identifying an audio book's narrator. This audio book had two narrators; one with a mild speech impediment. While I have nothing against people with speech problems, it is difficult (and somewhat painful) to listen to someone talk about the dangers of high "bwood" pressure. Think 'Elmer Fudd on Your Health'.
The data presented was obviously biased. Given that it was an audio book, it is difficult to know if there were scientific or academic references. Pay attention to the way numbers and studies are referenced. A critical eye (or ear) should be used.
In spite of all these factors, this book does provide a very elementary overview of the body and how the various systems function and can malfunction. I now have a better understanding of the importance of flossing my teeth, managing my cholesterol and blood pressure, maintining bone density, and the types of foods which will most benefit my overall health. That can't be a bad thing, can it?
Note: the number and amounts of supplements they suggest are overwhelming."
"If you don't have a medical degree, this is the book for you. If you have ever wondered how things work and why, this one is it! I can't recommend it enough as most of us haven't a clue as to what is important to our body."
