Drop Dead Healthy

For his most recent self-experiments author A.J. Jacobs set out to become the healthiest man alive. Over the course of two years, he tackled a different body part each month (stomach, heart, ears, etc.) and consulted experts to maximize his health in each area.  His experiences are humorously shared in Drop Dead Healthy: One Man's Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection.  From wearing large noise cancelling headphones in public and turning his desk into a treadmill to exercising like a caveman in Central Park, nothing is out of bounds. I appreciate that the author is willing to try anything, even ideas that have questionable scientific backing. Much of the advice has been heard many times before (shop the perimeter of the grocery store, use smaller dinner plates), but to me the point of the book was entertainment and I was not disappointed.
