Description
Drs. Oz and Roizen—the bestselling coauthors of the blockbuster YOU series—present their
#1 New York Times bestselling indispensable guide to maintaining vibrant health, improving
longevity, and aging gracefully.The body is the most fascinating machine ever created, and
nobody talks about it in ways that are as illuminating and compelling as Dr. Michael Roizen
and Dr. Mehmet Oz. Most people think of the aging of our bodies the same way we think of
the aging of our cars: the older we get, the more inevitable it is that we're going to break
down. Most of us believe that at age 40 or so, we begin the slow and steady decline of our
minds, our eyes, our ears, our joints, our arteries, our libido, and every other system that
affects the quality of life (and how long we live it). But according to Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz,
that's a mistake.Aging isn't a decline in our systems. It's actually very purposeful. The very
systems and biological processes that age us are designed to help us when we're a little bit
younger. So what's our role as part of the aging population? To learn how those systems
work so we can reprogram them to work the way they did when we were younger. Your goal
should be: die young at any age. That means you live a high quality of life (with everything
from working joints to working genitals) until the day you die.At the core of this landmark
book are the Major Agers—14 biological processes that control your rate of aging. Some
you've heard of, some you haven't, and some you never knew contributed to the aging
process. Some speed decline, others inhibit your repair mechanisms. These Major Agers are
everything from short telomeres and inefficient mitochondria to stem cells and wacky
hormones. The doctors explain the principles of longevity and many of the causes of aging
and how to fight the effects. The climax of the book is a 14-day plan to help you along your
path to staying young. The doctors want you to be able to integrate important processes into
your daily life in order to make staying young routine, but first you'll need to measure your
real age and health right now. Staying young encompasses your emotions and mental health
as well as your exercise habits, eating habits, personal hygiene, and genes, among other
things.Wouldn't you like to know how to prevent your body from aging badly? The original
YOU book showed how bodies work in general, and YOU: On a Diet explained how bodies
lose weight and stay fit. Now in YOU: Staying Young, Drs. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz
illuminate the mysterious mechanisms with a lively metaphor—the modern city. What
differentiates a vibrant and thriving city that ages gracefully from one that is worn down and
rusted out? Despite genetic differences, which are like the geography upon which the city is
built, cities age differently because of the way residents treat their education system (stem
cells), power plants (mitochondria), electrical grids (brains), transportation routes (blood
vessels), and landfills (fat). You—as mayor, resident, and street cleaner—have the power to
balance your biological budget to ensure a life that's both long and strong. Thankfully, just as
cities can invest in renewal and improving their repair processes, so can you.YOU: Staying
Young is filled with signature YOU Tools, including YOU Tests, YOU Tips, and visual and
verbal metaphors to bring the science to life.
