Summary: YOUseful Information
Comment: This is a neat book and must be a good inch and a half thick! It is divided up into two parts.
The theme of Part I is why you age and how you stay young. This section makes up roughly three quarters of the book. It deals mainly with what the book calls the "major agers." Examples of these include short telomeres, toxins, and ultraviolet radiation.
Part II is the plan to extend your warranty. Here you have a list of daily things to do which include such things as flossing, meditating, walking for 30 minutes a day, and getting the right amount of sleep.
Then there's a 14-day plan to help get you started- after that you should pretty much be on the right track. This section gives day-to-day advice and includes things for you to do for your mind AND body, things such as "do something as a family" that day, or "do the Chi-gong workout" today. Diet and exercise advice is also covered substantially in this section. Exercise consists of a YOU2 Workout (made up mainly of a series of stretches) and a Chi-gong Workout- both detailed step-by-step with exercising elves. Also need to mention they require no special equipment-nice!
All-in-all it's well worth the read, and for me, it's strength lies in it's vast amount of knowledge it offers on the aging processes of the human body. Packed with the stereotypical YOU tips, quizzes, factoids, and cartoons, most readers will benefit greatly. Also recommend Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff for readers who want to extend the life of their rotator cuff or have a shoulder problem that keeps them from exercising. Happy reading!

Summary: Excellent guide to aging process and what you can do about it
Comment: I have worked on personal nutrition when my father introduced me to the Pritikin diet in the 1980's saving me from a life time of obesity and poor health. I took that first step into self empowered health and wellness. I have run with it through today modifying the methods as new information is introduced. All along the way I have encountered the signs of aging but much less than and with excellent health for my age group. Basically pain free and full of energy in my late 50's Continuing with that effort I started the Vemma and Verve! nutrition program [...]
The book has confirmed much I have learned about nutrition and health in 20 years, probably while the authors were still in school or just starting out.
Good parts of this book are the balance between the real technical facts and great illustrations and analogies. The book is divided by short interestingly written sections called the Major Agers. These illustrate succinctly major agers such oxidation, stem cell slowdown, toxins, calorie consumption, declining defenses, wear & tear, UV radiation, wacky hormones and more. They set up what is happening to your body, why it happens. These are easy and motivational 2 - 4 page pieces. Then thinking of those sections as layers the filling in between are the details and steps you can take to help. You are giving the medical details in a way anyone can understand them.
I write about nutrition and health [...] now after living it and glad to see the medical profession showing some signs of encouraging personal prevention.
Read the book and learn to stay healthy and off of drugs as long as you can, hopefully such as depicted on the 16.1 illustration.
Finally the book contains the "YOU Extended Warranty Plan" on page 313. You could skip the first 313 pages (but it would be a big mistake) and just start following it. I have been following many aspects of that plan over the last 20 years and it has worked. There are many new items in the book I have to fill in the gaps of my activities.
You really need to look at Figure 16.1 on page 310 first before you read. Fix that image in your mind because that is the goal you want to work towards and you can do it.
Doctors, READ THIS BOOK! and start advising patients about nutritional easy to comply mineral, vitamin and anti-oxidant supplements they can take to aid their wellness.
