HOW NOT TO DIE
Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease
Doctors spend at least five years in medical school learning how to heal us. But of those countless hours in the classroom, most schools devote less than 25 of them to the healing power of food. That’s right: five years understanding how to cure us and one day focused on preventing disease from striking in the first place. It’s no wonder that people continue to get sicker every year.
While in medical school, Dr. Michael Greger realized that there was something seriously wrong with this picture, and made it his life’s mission to educate himself, other doctors, and the general public about the astounding health benefits that simple dietary choices can provide. After combing through thousands of dense, scientific articles to determine the specific healing powers of the foods we eat, he embarked upon the ultimate medical road trip, a multi-year odyssey that had him lecturing at nearly every medical school in the U.S. and reaching out to doctors and patients alike about his findings. His brilliant website, Nutritionfacts.org, has become hugely popular, generating over 1 million visits per month and millions of viewers for his YouTube videos.
HOW NOT TO DIE: Simple Secrets for Living Longer will be the most authoritative, accessible, and up-to-date book on the subject of nutritional medicine. One chapter will be devoted to each of the top 15 causes of death, from Heart Disease (#1) to Hypertension (#15), which take a combined 1.6 million American lives each year, and countless more worldwide. For each disease, HOW NOT TO DIE will present us with the shockingly easy dietary changes – eating a cup of black beans with dinner or cutting down on cured meats – that can intervene to help us live longer, healthier lives. The book will also include a practical diet plan, instructing readers on what to eat based upon personal factors such as family history.
