Summary:
"The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. From the author of the website NutritionFacts.org, this book reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death. Dr. Michael Greger examines the fifteen top causes of premature death: heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives. Most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. You will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer. History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet whenever you can. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug-and without the side effects. Fighting off liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease, the number 1 killer? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to prevent the disease but often stop it in its tracks. Includes a daily dozen a checklist of the twelve foods we should consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor's orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives"--Provided by publisher.
