What to expect

Read by the Author, Michael Greger, MD

Discover the foods proven to prevent and reverse disease in this tenth anniversary edition of How Not to Die, extensively revised and updated with the latest nutritional science.

'Dr Michael Greger reveals the foods that will help you live longer' — Daily Mail

With over one million copies sold, the international bestseller, Dr Michael Greger's How Not To Die gives effective, scientifically proven nutritional advice to prevent our biggest killers – including heart disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer, high blood pressure and diabetes – and 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.
