Why read it?

2 authors picked How Not to Die as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

While friendship, ikigai and optimism are important for our health and longevity, diet and exercise still matterā€”a lot. For me, How Not to Die is a go-to book when I want to check the science on what worksā€”and what doesnā€™tā€”in terms of nutrition, physical activity, supplements, etc.

How Not to Die is a veritable encyclopedia of useful information on how to avoid dying of the fifteen leading causes of death in Americaā€”including death brought on by medical care! Gregerā€™s expertise on nutritional studies makes for enlightening reading. Thereā€™s revelatory information on almost every page, and you will learn how to eat for optimal health.
