YOU: STAYING YOUNG The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty

The two authors read alternate sections of this encyclopedic guide to keeping our bodies and minds young. Even when their enthusiasm sounds exaggerated or unrefined, what stands out is their sincerity and obvious connection with their audience. Their unprofessional voices are strangely enjoyable. With entertaining examples and analogies, they show how preventing the diseases of old age is only part of staying young. They offer detailed explanations of 14 biological processes that work together to impact the rate at which we age. They emphasize the power of our cells to rejuvenate themselves and to slow down the decline dictated by our genetics, our environment, and our family culture. Comes with a printable PDF file describing a well-organized 14-day plan of action. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2008]
