Health Advice From Dr. Oz

Unless you have been sleeping under a rock for the last few years, it is impossible to ignore the common sense approach to staying healthy from the charismatic Dr. Mehmet Oz. Dr. Oz and his well known side kick Oprah Winfrey have been championing the cause for changing Americans health habits and diet by running monthly shows and specials dedicated to Dr. Oz and his one on one, round the table discussions of health, diet, nutrition and longevity.

If you have not tuned into the Oprah Show lately, then perhaps you have seen Dr. Oz doing other shows on such channels as PBS. (Public Broadcasting Service)

There is nothing boring about learning the steps to better health from this handsome, well spoken heart surgeon who has a heart warming personality to go along with his uncommon knowledge of our heart and body systems. After watching him at least a half dozen times on television, speaking about various aspects of our health. I believe that Dr. Oz can captivate and charm even the most staunch junk food eaters into turning his simple health suggestions and 2 week prescriptions for living a healthier lifestyle.

I picked up his first book, "You The Owners Manual" an Insiders Guide to the Body That Will Make You Healthier and Younger about 2 years ago and instantly became hooked on his no nonsense approach to debuking common myths and wives tales and replacing them with important facts and advice we all need to know when it comes to keeping our bodies running long and strong.

YOU THE OWNERS MANUAL, is just one book in a series of books that are co-authored by Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen M.D. also affectionately known as "The You Docs."

List of "Dr. Oz Books" Include:

- YOU THE OWNERS MANUAL
- YOU ON A DIET
- YOU STAYING YOUNG WORKOUT
- The TRUTH ABOUT FOOD
- YOU THE SMART PATIENT
- YOU ON A WALK
- HEALING FROM THE HEART

Dr. Michael Roizen is also known for his Real Age Books and Real Age Test. That has taken the Internet by storm.

Books on Real Age Include:

- The Real Age Makeover

With today's strong emphasis on diet and fitness, any one of these books would be a great start to learning the basics of a solid, nutritional diet along with incorporating the right exercise into your daily, healthful lifestyle.

Have A Healthy Day!
