Dr. Michael Greger (vegan) is an American physician, bestselling author, and internationally recognized speaker on nutrition, food safety, and public health. “How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease” is a groundbreaking exploration of the powerful connection between diet and health. “It all started with my grandmother. That’s why I practice lifestyle medicine, why I started utritionFacts.org, why I wrote ‘How Not to Die,’ why all the proceeds from all of my books are all donated directly to charity.” “How Not to Die” highlights the vital role of nutrition in preventing and even reversing chronic diseases. “I think people just don’t realize that diet is among the leading causes of death and disability in this country. But diet and lifestyle gives people a tool to actually make people better, to actually reverse disease, not just treat the symptoms, and kind of remind us of why we all went into medicine in the first place.”We asked Dr. Greger about the challenges he has faced in advocating for plant-based nutrition within a healthcare system that remains heavily dependent on pharmaceuticals and surgical interventions. “And it’s true that some patients might not change or care. Our role is really just inform, fully inform, the patients as to the risks and benefits of the available options, and let them choose for themselves.” “The first half of ‘How Not to Die,’ there’s just 15 chapters on each of the 15 leading causes of death. I wanted it to be a practical day-to-day grocery store-style guide. And so that’s the second half of the book, where I center my recommendations around this Daily Dozen checklist of the healthiest of healthy foods I encourage people to eat on their daily basis.”
