What to expect
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.

Lots of fascinating, science based facts, narrated in a friendly and non patronising way.
The author/narrator has a great tone to his voice making him easy to listen to.
Surely the contents of this book is a public health imperative, if only government policy wasn’t so tied to the food industry.
One small criticism, we don’t all live in the US! Not sure what measurement a ‘cup’ is.zil640152 2025-02-15 -

So glad I was able to listen to this. I have the physical book as well but found it too overwhelming as I have ADHD - however having it in audiobook format too allowed me the time to digest it in two formats and I could always go back a cross reference in the book where needed. I’m on a mostly plant based diet anyway but this was great to help me hone into the ways I could improve my health. As mentioned in the book, I’m not afraid of death I just don’t want to be the main cause of it!
