    YOU: Having a Baby: The Owner′s Manual to a Happy and Healthy Pregnancy
    Can I get a cavity filled while pregnant? Will avoiding spicy foods make my kid a picky eater? Can I really increase my baby′s IQ while she′s in utero?

    Whether you′re pregnant for the first time, are trying to start your family, or already have enough children to start your own basketball team, you′re bound to have questions about what it means to be pregnant — and how you can increase your odds of having a healthy and happy pregnancy. But no matter how much you′ve read, watched, studied, or talked about this amazing biological journey, you have never read anything like this.

    In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz act as mythbusters for the hundreds of questions surrounding pregnancy in the same scientific, informative, and entertaining ways that have made them America′s Doctors. In these pages, you′ll learn everything you need to know about the miracles of fetal development, your health throughout the pregnancy, and providing the best possible environment for your growing child.

    Pregnancy is a complicated balancing act, but it doesn′t have to be frightening. The doctors will help you de-stress as they describe accurately and rationally what happens during a thrilling nine months of life. While every pregnant body is different, odds are you′ll experience some of the cravings, crying, and discomfort that almost all women go through. Your best tactic? Learn why these things are happening — and what you should do about them.

    YOU: Having a Baby will teach you everything you need to know about what to eat (should I be eating for two?), how much to exercise, and what guilty pleasures will actually make pregnancy easier on you (and the loved ones who get to be around you for the whole thing). Each phase of pregnancy has different challenges, but the right information will prepare you for what′s ahead. The interactive week-by-week calendar inside provides an even more detailed guideline for how and what you should feel through every step of the process.

    Exciting, cutting-edge scientific research in the field of epigenetics has changed the way the medical profession looks at pregnancy, and now it can change your perspective, too. Epigenetics explores what makes us develop in certain ways — why some people thrive at math while others are prone to chronic diseases. It turns out that there are easy things you can do that will not just help your baby′s development in utero but will actually improve his or her chances of living a healthy, fulfilling adult life.

    Filled with recipes for nutritious, satisfying snacks and meals even Pop can cook (yes, he can!), safe exercises for staying fit, and tons of YOU tips that will help you stay comfortable, YOU: Having a Baby is the ultimate guidebook for what to do from the moment of conception to the weeks after your child has arrived home. From morning sickness and food cravings to choosing a doctor and changing a diaper, YOU: Having a Baby will give you the real scoop about what′s in store for you during this amazing time in your life.

    You on a Diet: The Owner′s Manual for Waist Management

    Whether your goal for your body is to lose a dress size or to avoid being seen by Google Earth, many Americans are in the same exact blubbery boat. You′ve tried dozens of diets, you′ve sweated so much that your drippings could fill an Olympic-size pool, and you′ve become convinced that skinny was synonymous with starvation. Those answers undoubtedly were the wrong ones. The real secret to achieving — and maintaining — the body you want is this: biology.

    In YOU: On a Diet, Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz taught you how to avoid the most common dieting pitfalls — from both a biological and psychological perspective. This revised edition has all of the original goods, and more! In this edition, you′ll learn why fructose is such a poison to an overweight person and why your weight doesn′t matter as much as your waist size. You′ll learn about the inner workings of an organ called the omentum. You′ll learn why it′s okay to make some dieting mistakes — and then how to reverse them. And you′ll learn — perhaps most important — that the way to truly change your size is by making the simplest change of all: reducing your daily diet by just 100 calories. Research shows that making this small adjustment will lead to the greatest, long-term dieting success.

    With this knowledge (and plenty of tools you can use) in hand, you′ll be fully equipped to coax your body in the right direction. Using their signature style that′s smart and fun, America′s most trusted doctors will teach you all about your body — so you can take all the right steps to change it.

    You, the Owner′s Manual: An Insider′s Guide to the Body That Will Make You Healthier and Younger

    Between your full-length mirror and high-school biology class, you probably think you know a lot about the human body. While it′s true that we live in an age when we′re as obsessed with our bodies as we are with celebrity hairstyles, the reality is that most of us know very little about what chugs, churns, and thumps throughout this miraculous, scientific, and artistic system of anatomy. Yes, you′ve owned your skin-covered shell for decades, but you probably know more about your cell-phone plan than you do about your own body. When it comes to your longevity and quality of life, understanding your internal systems gives you the power, authority, and ability to live a healthier, younger, and better life.

    The flagship book of the YOU series, which spawned three subsequent New York Times bestsellers, has now been expanded and updated to make you understand your body even better—perhaps too well.

    YOU: The Owner′s Manual, Updated and Expanded Edition challenges your preconceived notions about how the human body works and ages, then takes you on a tour through all of the highways, back roads, and landmarks inside of you. In this update, the doctors have included a new chapter on the liver and pancreas, which will finally demystify the most exotic parts of our bodies; a new workout chapter that will finally get you moving; and nearly one hundred Q&As asked by you, the reader. It has also been updated throughout to give you up-to-the-minute know-how to not just understand what to do to keep fit, but also why and how.

    The book opens with a quiz, “How Well Do You Know Your Body?,” which sets the stage for the following chapters. After taking the quiz, you′ll learn about all of your blood-pumping, food-digesting, and keys-remembering systems and organs, including the heart, brain, lungs, immune system, bones, and sensory organs. Each chapter also contains common myths of the particular body part that the authors will debunk.

    Just as important, you′ll get the facts and advice you need to keep your body running long and strong. You′ll find out how diseases start and how they affect your body—as well as advice on how to prevent and beat conditions that threaten your quality of life. Complete with exercise tips, nutritional guidelines, simple lifestyle changes, and alternative approaches, YOU: The Owner′s Manual, Updated and Expanded Edition gives you an easy, comprehensive, and life-changing how-to plan for fending off the gremlins of aging. To top it off, this new edition includes even more great-tasting and calorie-saving recipes as part of the Owner′s Manual Diet—an eating plan that is designed with only one goal in mind: to help you live a younger life.

    Welcome to your body. Why don′t you come on in and take a look around?
