How Not to Die is not about living forever. It's not How to Not Die, but How Not to Die—as in prematurely, in pain, and after a long, chronic, disabling illness. The good news is that we have tremendous power over our health destiny and longevity. The vast majority of premature death and disability can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-recognized lecturer, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the top 15 causes of 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 prescribed pills and even surgery, freeing us to live healthier lives.
Why Wait to Treat a Disease If You Can Prevent It?
Most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses, but bad at preventing chronic disease. The 15 leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans every year, but this needn't be the case. Dr. Greger methodically lays out the why's and how's of disease and, with his trademark humor, presents the indisputable, peer-reviewed, scientific evidence to support the best foods to eat (and to avoid) and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer and more healthfully.
Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen
In How Not to Die, Dr. Greger gives us his Daily Dozen, a simple checklist of the foods we should try to consume every day to help maximize our health. 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.
