Description of book
Read by the author, Dr Michael Greger.
'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.

Everyone should read this if they care about their own, or other people’s health. Author is also the narrator and in this case, it works perfectly. All the detailed and scientific information is easy to take in, thanks to the enthusiasm you can hear from his voice. Plants for the win!

Olen usein harmitellut kun en tiedä mitä kasveja kannattaisi erityisesti suosia ruokavaliossa. Tämä kirja vastaa siihen. Latasin myös daily dosen app:n jota oli mielenkiintoista katsoa samalla kun kuunteli kirjaa niin oli helpompi hahmottaa kokonaisuus, josta puhutaan. Tietoa tulee niin paljon, että täytyy usein pysähtyä ja kuunnella uudelleen. Mukavaa myös, että kirja antaa tieteen puhua puolestaan ja antaa jokaisen päättää itse missä määrin haluaa opittuja asioita sisällyttää omaan ruokavalioonsa (toisin kuin useat tämän tapaiset opukset, jotka tuputtavat ideologiaa ja vain yhtä oikeaa tapaa elää, syödä tai ajatella).

Very informative, tries (and I think succeeds) to capture everything important on nutrition. I especially like the chapters on the most common diseases and the last part about the daily dozen, spices etc.

Life changing!
This book isn’t about another fad diet. It’s about how you can prolong your life by eating good foods. All is backed up by science and nicely explained by Dr. Greger himself. I’m obsessed!
