Book Signing with Dr. Michael Roizen January 31, 2008

The best selling author Dr. Michael Roizen is a professor of anesthesiology and internal medicine at Case Western Reserve Medical School and chair of the Division of Anesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine, and Comprehensive Pain Management at the Cleveland Clinic. He is the co-author of the best-selling titles You: The Owners Manual, You: On a Diet, You: The Smart Patient and You: Staying Young.

Dr. Michael Roizen will discuss and sign copies of his book, You: Staying Young.

Wouldn't you like to know how to prevent your body from aging badly? The original You book showed how bodies work in general, and You: On a Diet explained how bodies lose weight and stay fit. Now in You: Staying Young, Drs. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz illuminate the mysterious mechanisms with a lively metaphor -- the modern city. What differentiates a vibrant and thriving city that ages gracefully from one that is worn down and rusted out? Despite genetic differences, which are like the geography upon which the city is built, cities age differently because of the way residents treat their education system (stem cells), power plants (mitochondria), electrical grids (brains), transportation routes (blood vessels), and landfills (fat). You -- as mayor, resident, and street cleaner -- have the power to balance your biological budget to ensure a life that's both long and strong. Thankfully, just as cities can invest in renewal and improving their repair processes, so can you.
