An amazing guide to great health
This book is something
you
can read cover to cover OR just flip open any section you're curious about and read away! I bought it to take on a ladies weekend. We were all flipping through it and reading the 'factoids' out loud, commenting on the fun delivery of the book and just learning how to continue to support our overall health. This book is one
that everyone
should have by their nightstand.
A Good Guide To Your Body And Health
Any
body concerned
with their health should read this book.
You
are basically what you eat - so you should consider your diet very carefully. For me the most interesting part of the book is the one related with the artery clogging and blood tension. The writing style is very funny and very accessible to anyone. Recommended!

Delaying or Reversing the Aging Process
What is
you
r BQ (
Body Quotient
; analogue of the IQ: Intelligence Quotient)? The authors provide the test questions (and later answers) which test the reader's ability to distinguish facts from misconceptions about the human body. Then they follow up each of these questions with explanatory text.
There are chapters in this book dealing with the systems of the body. This includes discussion of such things as macular degeneration and sexual health. Did you know
that many
heart attacks are asymptomatic?
In common with low-carb diets, the authors advocate the virtual elimination of sugar, corn syrup, and refined-flour products from the diet. Ditto for trans-fats and saturated fats. Some good "brain foods" include olive oil, nuts, fish, and real cocoa. Twenty minutes of sustained exercise a day is sufficiently beneficial, provided that it is intense enough to noticeably elevate the breathing rate or to
make
the exerciser break out in a sweat.
Oddly enough, the authors claim that the embryonic human heart goes through the stages of the heart of a fish, amphibian, reptile, and mammal during development. This theory, called the Embryonic Recapitulation Theory, or simply "Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny" has been rejected over a century ago. Any purported similarity of the embryonic human heart to that of a fish, etc., is superficial and coincidental.

BOOK
This book is just tarrific. My opinion is,
that
every
body should
have such book at home. It gives
you
a comparatively deep wiev inside our organism and helps understand how it (should) works. Also included very helpful advices about foods, vitamines and a way of life to be more healthy and young
Gift for a friend
I bought this for a friend's birthday and almost kept it for myself. The information is accessible, fun to read, understandable, well illustrated, and non-stuffy.
You know
how when you talk to a doctor, they answer in language you can't understand? Well, this book is nothing like
that
. It's got great, sensible information for anyone. It's really a "Personal Health for Dummies." I used to work at a hospital, and I still learned a lot from the book.
