Men's Health has become synonymous with the most authoritative health, fitness, sex, nutrition, and weight loss research from top medical experts, exercise scientists, and nutritionists. Now, the editors of Men's Health have gathered that research to produce a comprehensive guide to the male body, exploring its systems, organs, common afflictions, and best strategies for maintaining optimal health. This valuable compilation is, however, no mere technical primer. The authors use the best elements from their magazine―including straight-shooting descriptions, a wry sense of humor, and a high level of appreciation for their audience's intelligence―to cover everything from how the circulatory system works and why and when guys need prostate exams to which exercises increase strength and what to eat to ward off a cold. With a user-friendly index of symptoms, body systems, and organs and pages for recording blood pressure, weight, test results, and other medical information, The Male Body: The Owner's Manual will be an invaluable resource to any man who wants to know everything about his body and how to maintain it.
