You: The Owner's Manual: An Insider's Guide To The Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger

There are countless self-help books ranging from diet, exercise, psychology, and the like. One of the authors has really taken advantage of this new found fame, Dr. Oz, and leads me to some skepticism regarding future pronouncements. Yet, most of the advice and info in this book originates from sound, proven scientific data. Most of the data herein is the culmination of hard evidence based on theory, model and proven in labs, and the anecdotal experience by two of the nations foremost physicians.
There are no secret cures, steps or magic recipes here that will produce profound medical, cosmetic changes; instead information that can lead to reducing risk of developing serious disease, and small scale improvements on maintaining quality of life and potentially improving it through diligent application of sound principles.
At the end, I couldn't help but wonder why all high school children aren't exposed to something like this, in reduced form, if not the complete accounting provided here. After all, what device that we have in our life, is more important that our own bodies? And yet, many are indifferent and/or ignorant to the fundamentals that are important to getting the most out of it.
