“Absolutely the best book I’ve read on nutrition and diet” –Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zones Solution

From the physician behind the wildly popular website NutritionFacts.org, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death.

The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of premature death in America-heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more-and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives.

The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The fifteen leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn't have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger's advice, all of it backed up by strong scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer.

History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet whenever you can. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug-and without the side effects. Fighting off liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (the number 1 killer in the United States)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to prevent the disease but often stop it in its tracks.

In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top fifteen causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen -a checklist of the twelve foods we should consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor's orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.

amazing book

Became my favorite non fiction book ! its so addicting to listen backed up by great resources. definetly give it a listen.

Excellent comprehensive book of useful and important information!

I have read dozens if not hundreds of books on health and nutrition. I am an A.C.E. Certified Health Coach and Personal Trainer with a specialty in nutrition. This is the best and most complete book that I have ever read. I am going to read it again - right now! Thank you Dr. Greger for this labor of love. Most doctors are clueless when it comes to nutrition. As you said, "A doctor a day keeps the apple away."

Awesome!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I'm now on a whole food plant-based diet and consider it my Bible. removing Dairy from my diet resolved my digestive problems. thanks dr. Greger

I LOVE THIS BOOK

Any additional comments?

I wish everyone would read this book!!!

The author narrates the book so well. I feel like he's in the room with me and speaking from the heart and not just reading a script he wrote. The nutrition information is out of this world and so easy to understand. Read this book!

great information
