From the physician behind the wildly popular Nutrition Facts website, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can help prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death.
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 to help prevent and reverse these diseases, 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.
WOW About 6 months ago I decided to eat a plant based diet because I had experienced the hell of gallstones and could no longer eat fat unless I wanted to keel over in pain for 6 hours. I am one of those people who has to be on my death bed before I go to a doctor and the thought of surgery was enough to get me to make this huge change in my life. Although I wasn't eating meats or real fatty things, I was still using salt, sugar, olive oil, white flour,etc. I also smoked for 40 years but quit a month ago (thank you Chantix, yes it works). My sister turned me on to Dr Greger and I bought his book on Audible. I think he changed my life. He made me understand why a life style of whole plant based foods is the only way to live and why.Well, I listen to his book all the time. I sleep with it on and have it playing in the background instead of radio or TV. I can't say enough about it. In addition to loving the sound of his voice I'm blown away by the information I never knew that I didn't know. Such as: chicken & acceptable salmonella, the risk you taken when eating fish, all the studies he cites that I was never aware of explained in layman's terms as well as why its important to me.Anyway, I now put flax in my morning oatmeal & am actually eating fruit. He convinced me that everything I decide to eat is an opportunity versus a mindless nosh. Because of this man and his book I am getting more nutritional bang for my buck and am feeling great. I haven't had a single gall bladder problem and am exercising a lot more then I used to. He's making me actually enjoy doing all this stuff. All I can really say is wow - get this book. FYI - I bought the hard cover as well as the audible so I had a printed reference at my finger tips.This Book Gave Me My Life Back This book saved me from crippling diverticulitis, which at 32, had already robbed me of nearly 8 years of my life. The weirdest thing about fully plant-based eating is how horrifically extreme it seems before you attempt it, and how OBVIOUS it is after you've made the change. Faced with horrible pain associated with recurrent intestinal infections, I spent YEARS trying and failing on every fad quackpot miracle diet. GAPS, SCD, Paleo, AIP Paleo, FODMAPS. I tried every insanely expensive probiotic, and tried every fiber supplement. Despite spending thousands of dollars and every second of every day trying to heal myself, I was lucky to get two days a month where I felt even remotely like a person. Yet it wasn't until my weight declined to the point where I was faced with resection surgery and associated risk of a colostomy bag that I finally said "enough". This book found me just in time and I'm grateful every single day. It was definitely a process going from barely tolerating 10 grams of fiber daily to eating upwards of 100 grams of unprocessed plant fiber, but I got there, and got my life back in the process. No pain. No constipation. No more flares. Of course my doctors and specialists mumble contemptuously when I present them this information, as if it were obvious but never presented to me because a life without bacon is no life at all. Sometimes, I get angry about losing a sizable chunk of the best years of my life to Western food and medicine. Sometimes I get angry that all my friends and family thing I'm one of those crazy "vegan hipsters". I find the best remedy is just popping on one of Dr. Greger's Youtube vids and enjoying his positivity and enthusiasm for plant-based eating. Thank you Dr. Greger for all that you've done, and all that you continue to do!
