Books like How Not to Die by Michael Greger

From the physician behind the website NutritionFacts.org, "How Not to Die" presents the evidence behind a diet designed to prevent and reverse many causes of disease‑related death. Dr. Greger explains that while many doctors treat acute illnesses, chronic disease prevention often falls short. The book focuses on the 15 leading causes of premature death—heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s, hypertension, and others—that claim 1.6 million American lives annually. Using strong scientific evidence, he outlines foods to eat and lifestyle changes to adopt in order to fight these diseases and extend life. Included is the Daily Dozen checklist, a set of foods and activities to incorporate into daily routines for better health. Practical, actionable guidance and up‑to‑date nutrition science make the book a guide for readers seeking to make evidence‑based choices for longevity and well‑being.
