New York Times Bestseller "This book may provide assistance to individuals who are susceptible to preventable illnesses." - His Holiness the Dalai Lama "Undoubtedly the most exceptional book I have encountered on the subject of nutrition and diet" - Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zones Solution Written by Dr. Michael Greger, the renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, How Not to Die presents ground-breaking scientific evidence supporting the only diet that can effectively prevent and reverse numerous causes of disease-related mortality. Within this book, Dr. Greger thoroughly explores the top fifteen factors that lead to premature death in the United States, including heart disease, various forms of cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more. He elucidates how nutritional modifications and lifestyle changes can sometimes surpass the effectiveness of prescription drugs, as well as other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, in preventing and reversing these diseases, ultimately enabling us to lead healthier lives. A simple truth is that while doctors are proficient in treating acute illnesses, they often fall short in preventing chronic diseases. The leading causes of death, responsible for claiming the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually, need not continue to exert such a toll. By adhering to Dr. Greger's meticulously researched advice, supported by robust scientific evidence, readers will gain insight into the foods to incorporate into their diets and the lifestyle alterations to adopt, all for the purpose of prolonging their lives. For instance, if there is a history of prostate cancer in one's family, Dr. Greger advises substituting milk consumption with flaxseed inclusion within the diet. Similarly, individuals with high blood pressure may find that hibiscus tea is more efficacious than leading hypertensive medications, and without the associated side effects. Combatting liver disease? Regular consumption of coffee has shown potential in mitigating liver inflammation. For those grappling with breast cancer, the consumption of soy products has been linked to enhanced survival rates. Concerned about heart disease, the leading cause of mortality in the United States? Transitioning to a whole-food, plant-based diet has been consistently proven not only to prevent this disease but to halt its progress. Additionally, in How Not to Die, Dr. Greger presents his "Daily Dozen" checklist - a compendium of twelve essential foods that we should incorporate into our daily diets. Overflowing with actionable advice rooted in cutting-edge nutritional science, these recommendations act as the prescribed regimen essential for living longer, healthier lives.
