Meer over het boek

Dr. Mehmet Oz, a cardiologist and alternative-medicine innovator, teams up with Dr. Michael Roizen, creator of the RealAge concept, to present an engaging guide to the human body. This witty exploration is accessible to everyone, even those who struggle with basic anatomy. The book opens with a challenging "body-quotient" quiz that may surprise even the most knowledgeable readers. With humor, the authors take readers on a journey through the body’s anatomy and systems—hormonal, nervous, digestive, sensory, and more—while sharing intriguing trivia. Questions like how often to check thyroid levels or the average daily gas production are answered alongside quirky facts, such as the significance of earlobe wrinkles in relation to artery health. The authors aim to educate readers about their bodies and promote health and vitality. To support this, they include an "Owner's Manual Diet," featuring a 10-day menu designed not for weight loss but to rejuvenate. Each simple recipe, like Tomato Bruschetta rich in lycopene, is crafted to enhance specific body systems. This engaging approach makes learning about health enjoyable and practical.
