Summary

'This book may help those who are susceptible to illnesses that can be prevented with proper nutrition' – His Holiness the Dalai Lama

The international bestseller, Dr Michael Greger's How Not To Die, read by the author, gives effective, scientifically-proven nutritional advice to prevent our biggest killers. From heart disease, breast cancer, and prostate cancer, to high blood pressure and diabetes – it reveals the astounding health benefits that simple dietary choices can provide.

Why rely on drugs and surgery to cure you of life-threatening disease when the right decisions can prevent you from falling ill to begin with?

Based on the latest scientific research, How Not To Die examines each of the most common diseases to reveal what, how and why different foods affect us, and how increasing our consumption of certain foods and avoiding others can dramatically reduce our risk of falling sick and even reverse the effects of disease. It also shares Dr Greger's 'Daily Dozen' – the twelve foods we should all eat every day to stay in the best of health.

With emphasis on individual family health history and acknowledging that everyone needs something different, Dr Michael Greger offers practical dietary advice to help you live longer, healthier lives.

'Dr Michael Greger reveals the foods that will help you live longer.' – Daily Mail

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Empowers you

After listening, the average person will be incomparably more aware of diet and lifestyle choices that they can make, which can completely change their future well-being. Presented in an honest and friendly way, Dr. Greger does an excellent job of breaking down the science and translating it to an easily comprehensible form for someone with no medical or nutritional knowledge. The passion he has is very apparent. You can learn exactly how you can make changes, and enables you to make choices for a longer, healthier and happier life.

Probably the best book I ever read

The Narrator of this book makes it so easy to listen to and enjoy. I used the rewind function on the car stereo so many times so he could repeat key information that I needed to absorb. I have now bought this book in paper format for reference and have also bought the How Not To Die Cookbook. Aswell as telling you how not to die from various illnesses the book also goes on to tell you the best foods you should be eating. If there's one book you have to read it's this one. The physical size of the book (amount of pages) may put some people off and the print is fairly small so I'd encourage you to listen to it on Audible.

Brilliant!!

A real eye opener. Since starting to listen to it 3 weeks ago after mastectomy surgery I implemented the plan using the daily dozen app. I have lost 10lbs and lost 3 inches from my waist already. I still have plenty of fat to lose but....I feel sooooo healthy already, just after 3 weeks. I am excited about experimenting with growing food and cooking again. THANK YOU 🙂🙂🙂

Sound advice on how to live long and prosper!...

Lots of sound advice on what you will have heard before but in a sensible and easily to listen to format. Packed with advice and health tips on food. The only down side is you might need to buy the book to remember it all!

Some comments said this book was dull - I say to them they are not listening to the message - eat well, live well.
