From the physician behind the wildly popular NutritionFacts website, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death.

The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of premature death in America-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.

The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The fifteen leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn't have to be the case.

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 in the United States)? 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.

A vital, timely text on the viruses that cause pandemics and how to face them, by the New York Times bestselling author of How Not to Die.

As the world grapples with the devastating impact of COVID-19, Dr Greger reveals not only what we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones during a pandemic, but also what human society must rectify to reduce the likelihood of even worse catastrophes in the future.

From tuberculosis to bird flu and HIV to coronavirus, these infectious diseases share a common origin story: human interaction with animals. Otherwise known as zoonotic diseases for their passage from animals to humans, these pathogens—both pre-existing ones and those newly identified – emerge and re-emerge throughout history, sparking epidemics and pandemics that have resulted in millions of deaths around the world.

How did these diseases come about? And what – if anything – can we do to stop them and their fatal march into our countries, our homes, and our bodies? In How to Survive a Pandemic, Dr Michael Greger, physician and internationally-recognized expert on public health issues, delves into the origins of some of the deadliest pathogens the world has ever seen. Tracing their evolution from the past until today, Dr Greger spotlights emerging flu and coronaviruses as he examines where these pathogens originated, as well as the underlying conditions and significant human role that have exacerbated their lethal influence to large, and even global, levels.

La gran mayoría de muertes prematuras podrían prevenirse con tan solo llevar a cabo sencillos cambios en la dieta y en el estilo de vida. En Comer para no morir, el doctor Michael Greger, experto en nutrición y médico de fama mundial, analiza las quince primeras causas de muerte (enfermedades cardiovasculares, distintos tipos de cáncer, diabetes, enfermedad de Parkinson o hipertensión arterial, entre otras) y explica cómo algunos cambios en la alimentación y el estilo de vida pueden ser más eficaces que las pastillas u otros tratamientos farmacológicos y quirúrgicos para vivir una vida más saludable.

Um guia do poder dos alimentos que vai garantir saúde e bem-estar ao lado de sua família e amigos por muitos e muitos anos

Infecções, diabetes, depressão, cardiopatias. Seja qual for a doença, a rotina é a mesma: após exames e consultas, a maioria dos médicos se restringe a receitar um remédio ao paciente. Tratamentos alternativos não são mencionados, e medicina preventiva parece uma realidade distante. O resultado é que milhares de vidas são perdidas prematuramente em virtude de doenças que poderiam ter sido evitadas ou revertidas. Mas não precisa ser assim.

Escrito pelo médico Michael Greger, Comer para não morrer trata de um estilo de alimentação capaz de prevenir, controlar e até reverter muitas das principais causas de morte da atualidade: a dieta à base de vegetais — ou plant-based diet, como é conhecida pelos especialistas. Com uma linguagem clara e ferramentas práticas que nos indicam o que comer, quando e em que quantidade, o livro se fundamenta em estudos acadêmicos para desmistificar a ciência por trás dessa forma de nutrição revolucionária e mostra que adotá-la está longe de ser um bicho de sete cabeças.
