Life-Changing Foods

Why pin your hopes on medication and surgeons to cure the most life-threatening diseases, when you can make the right decisions yourself so that you don't get ill at all? "How Not to Die" (Life-Changing Foods) gives scientifically proven advice for preventing the deadliest diseases, such as heart disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer, conditions linked to high blood pressure, and diabetes. It also presents the extraordinary health benefits that can be achieved with a very simple regime. Based on the latest scientific studies, the book examines in detail each of today's most widespread diseases, devoting a full chapter to each, explaining how and why, if we increase our consumption of certain foods and avoid others, we can reduce to a minimum the risk of illness or its recurrence. Emphasising family health history, but without neglecting individual needs, Dr Michael Greger presents a practical regime that helps you make the right decisions for a longer – and above all healthier – life.
