Overview
How Not to Die is Dr Michael Greger's landmark, evidence-based guide to using food as medicine. Drawing on rigorous scientific research, it examines the biggest killers in the Western world and shows exactly which foods can help prevent, halt, and even reverse them. Combining accessible explanations with a practical eating plan, this bestselling paperback has become a go-to reference for anyone wanting to take real control of their long-term health through diet.

About the Book
Written by physician and nutrition researcher Dr Michael Greger, with Gene Stone, How Not to Die works through the fifteen leading causes of death - including heart disease, breast and prostate cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney disease - explaining in clear, engaging language how food choices influence each condition. Rather than trends or quick fixes, the book distils decades of peer-reviewed studies into practical, everyday guidance, showing readers exactly what to eat more of, and what to cut back on, to reduce risk. The second half of the book introduces Dr Greger's widely referenced "Daily Dozen" - a simple checklist of the food groups and habits linked to better health outcomes, designed to make putting the science into practice as straightforward as possible. Endorsed by health professionals and readers worldwide, and translated into numerous languages, the book has sold millions of copies and become a touchstone of the modern whole-food, plant-based movement. This UK paperback edition is a substantial 672-page reference, ideal for slow reading, dipping in and out of by chapter, or working through systematically alongside meal planning. It sits comfortably alongside other leading nutrition titles for readers who want the reasoning behind the recommendations, not just a list of rules.
