How Not to Die

Fifteen conditions account for most premature deaths in the United States, and Dr Michael Greger organises his argument around them one at a time. Drawing on published research, the founder of NutritionFacts.org examines heart disease, several cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure and other leading causes, then sets out the dietary and lifestyle evidence associated with each. A second part turns that material into everyday eating, with particular foods and daily habits singled out. Anyone with a diagnosed condition or taking medication should treat the book as background reading and consult a qualified doctor or dietitian before changing any treatment. Points that stand out: • Structured around fifteen leading causes of early death • Cites published nutrition research throughout • Closes with practical daily food and lifestyle guidance • Written by a physician who runs a nutrition research site Suitable for readers interested in preventive nutrition, though never a replacement for personal medical advice, and it can be ordered at Boipoka.
