“This book may help those who are susceptible to illnesses that can be prevented.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

“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.

Life changing content! I want to send this audio book off to every member of my family, everyone I care about.

I had to speed up the reading because I couldn’t stand the pace he is reading this. He emphasizes every other word with “uh” breaks in-between using “uh” to bridge a sentence, he’s too dramatic and trying too hard. Sounds like he’s trying to sell a used car. Make me not want to believe what he’s written.

This book made me feel like I could have some control over current and future disease. I really enjoyed hearing about the research supporting what he promotes. I enjoyed his narration as well. It didn’t feel like reading from a text.

Profile Avatar Peri Jordan May 2016

Contains loads of good information explained so anyone can understand how to prevent, reverse or stall the the top diseases that lead to death - NATURALLY!!!

Profile Avatar Ben Walden Feb 2016

Excellent book. Dr Gregor makes a very compelling case and relies on data in reaching conclusions. It's making me re-think importance of diet on health, which I have taken for granted until now.
