“This book may help those who are susceptible to illnesses that can be prevented.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama
“Absolutely the best book I’ve read on nutrition and diet” –Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zones Solution
From the physician behind the wildly 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.
The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. 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, 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.

Grateful to have this knowledge
For anyone saying this is vegan propaganda, you clearly did not listen to or finish this audiobook. Dr. Greger many times says he doesn’t like saying vegan or vegetarian because both of those diets can be very unhealthy depending on the choices made by the person on that diet. He literally recommends whole plant based foods. He links every study as reference so you can see for yourself. He also spends a little time in the book saying that he is not perfect either and sometimes doesn’t eat perfectly because he is a human like the rest of us. If you are not ready to accept that animal products are not good for us then you won’t like his recommendations.
Great content, TERRIBLE narration
The content is awesome, but the voice narration is AWFUL. It was painful to listen to - strange breathe gaps and pauses as if the guy is a radio announcer or a melodramatic public speaker instead of someone reading a book. Outrageously distracting. Wish the author had hired a decent narrator who was more normal. Would not recommend this audiobook, but I WOULD recommend the traditional book version.
This book changed my life
If you only read one book about health and nutrition, let it be this one. Every single chapter is full of mind-blowing information that makes you go, “WHY has no one ever told me about this?!”
Since finishing the book, I’ve bought a hard copy for myself, my mom and my dad. I would absolutely recommend this to every person in my life. PLUS all of the proceeds from the book (and all of Dr. Greger’s other work) goes to charity, which just speaks volumes about the intention behind why the author wrote the book in the first place.
Do yourself a favor and buy this book. My diet and lifestyle have completely changed since reading it, and I’m so grateful to Dr. Greger for educating people on these important topics.
