From the Back Cover
From the internationally renowned physician behind the hugely 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.
In How Not to Die, Dr Michael Greger examines the top causes of premature death - heart disease, various cancers, diabetes and many 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. By following Dr Greger's advice, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make in order to live longer.
Do you have a history of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet whenever you can. High blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug - and without the side effects. Worried about heart disease? 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.
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.
