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.

should be posted to everyone to read

if you only read one book, make it this one. It might not make you change your diet, but it will certainly make you see what you eat in a new light.

A huge repertoire of diatry information.

The message is clear from the beginning, cut down on your meat and dairy intake and increase you plant based whole grain diet. Quite a large book to read from cover to cover but as a reference book it's full of interesting medical and dietary advice to live a healthy longer life. My only gripe is that the audio book doesn't have chapter titles so it's difficult to return to chapters of interest.

I love Dr Greger

Such important, well written and accessible content. Makes you want to ram a big salad into your face. Dr Greger's voice is superb to listen to also.

I urge everyone to read this

Written not for profit but to share the best available nutritional information that can literally save lives. Backed by tons of research, it is presented clearly and understandably. Do yourself a favour and give it a try.

Life changing

Since reading this book I have overhaulled my life. After only a few weeks of changing my diet I have noticed that I feel so much better, both mentally and physically. I enjoy my meals, feel full and have lots more energy. As a bonus I've even lost a few pounds.

Informative, well read by author, life changing

There is so much to take in with this, so I bought the book and listened to it on Audible. Some of it I fast forwarded, but he reads it in such an interesting way without 'judgement' if you can't do the perfect diet, that it is really addictive! I'm a bit of a convert and keep spouting bits of info at people !

Absolute eye opener (and how to download the PDF)

Really enjoyed this and was already considering serious changes to my diet and this sealed the deal. I expected this could have been a difficult listen because of the subject matter, but Dr Gregor delivered a great vocal performance often with good humour and without preaching. The gist is, 'try and eat healthier, here is the (utterly compelling) evidence/ sources, now make up your own mind.'

For those complaining about there being no PDF, you need to sign in to the Audible website to download it. A quick google found me this:
