Summary
Uncover the evidence-based science to slowing the effects of aging， from the New York Times bestselling author of the How Not to Die series
When Dr。 Michael Greger， founder of NutritionFacts。org， dove into the top peer-reviewed anti-aging medical research， he realized that diet could regulate every one of the most promising strategies for combating the effects of aging。 We don’t need Big Pharma to keep us feeling young―we already have the tools。 In How Not to Age ， the internationally renowned physician and nutritionist breaks down the science of aging and chronic illness and explains how to help avoid the diseases most commonly encountered in our journeys through life。
Physicians have long treated aging as a malady， but getting older does not have to mean getting sicker。 There are eleven pathways for aging in our bodies’ cells and we can disrupt each of them。 Processes like autophagy， the upcycling of unusable junk， can be boosted with spermidine， a compound found in tempeh， mushrooms， and wheat germ。 Senescent “zombie” cells that spew inflammation and are linked to many age-related diseases may be cleared in part with quercetin-rich foods like onions， apples， and kale。 And we can combat effects of aging without breaking the bank。 Why spend a small fortune on vitamin C and nicotinamide facial serums when you can make your own for up to 2，000 times cheaper？
Inspired by the dietary and lifestyle patterns of centenarians and residents of “blue zone” regions where people live the longest， Dr。 Greger presents simple， accessible， and evidence-based methods to preserve the body functions that keep you feeling youthful， both physically and mentally。 Brimming with expertise and actionable takeaways， How Not to Age lays out practical strategies for achieving ultimate longevity。

If you like the format of Dr。 Greger's books （I do）， you will enjoy this new work。 How Not to Die remains a must， and this one is a great evidence-based extension for folks who enjoyed Dan Buettner's Netflix series （or books） about the Blue Zones。 We all want to add life to our years - this is a good start。 One change to this book that I love is that the entire tome is content。 If you want the extensive links to studies and research， you are directed online。 Great use of space here。 If you like the format of Dr。 Greger's books （I do）， you will enjoy this new work。 How Not to Die remains a must， and this one is a great evidence-based extension for folks who enjoyed Dan Buettner's Netflix series （or books） about the Blue Zones。 We all want to add life to our years - this is a good start。 One change to this book that I love is that the entire tome is content。 If you want the extensive links to studies and research， you are directed online。 Great use of space here。 。。。more

Dr Greger has done a great job of delivering scientific information with occasional wit and humor。 I am hooked on this approach， it adds a personal touch as though one is conversing with their longtime personal doctor beyond the twenty minute allotment allowed in medicine today。 I will keep this book at the ready for quick reference as I continue to age， armed with information that knowledge and understanding is indeed power。 Thank you Dr Greger！

This book is the latest in a series by Dr。 Michel Greger about nutrition and health。 It is a very comprehensive book that looks at many nutrition， exercise and lifestyle factors that can contribute to longevity。 The book is almost overwhelming with the amount of footnotes and studies cited。 As a nutritionist who is used to reading studies， the amount of this was overwhelming even to me。 The book refers to charts and tables but these were not included in my advanced copy。 They would have been hel This book is the latest in a series by Dr。 Michel Greger about nutrition and health。 It is a very comprehensive book that looks at many nutrition， exercise and lifestyle factors that can contribute to longevity。 The book is almost overwhelming with the amount of footnotes and studies cited。 As a nutritionist who is used to reading studies， the amount of this was overwhelming even to me。 The book refers to charts and tables but these were not included in my advanced copy。 They would have been helpful to have seen。 I decided to read this book as a 65 year old who has a goal of living to a healthy 100。 As a nutritionist I did not personally learn much new from this book。 。 Greger is a strong proponent of veganism。 I am not。 I follow a Weston Price philosophy of eating which is all natural whole foods， including animal products and dairy。 Greger ignores Price’s research which showed many different cultures around the world eating varied diets without modern diseases。 These include the Kitavans in the Pacific eating a high fat diet。 mostly coconuts， as well as the Maasai in African eating diets high in meat and dairy。 He also ignored the recent PURE study which found no correlation between diets high in either unprocessed red meat， chicken and mortality。 Gregor also ignored the devastating consequences from the huge increase in omega 6 fats from vegetable oils。 To learn more about that I recommend the recent book The Ancestral Diet Revolution by Chris Knobbe。 Readers may learn some good things from this book， but could be overwhelmed if not well versed in health and nutrition。 I received an advanced copy from the publisher via NetGalley。 。。。more

This book is extremely well researched， and discusses the reasons that the American diet is the cause of many health problems and in fact shortens lifespan。 Dr。 Greger， citing many sources， advises us to eat a plant based diet。 I don't think I can follow all of his recommendations， but I just bought a bag of kale and vowed to drink more green tea。 Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for the ARC。 This book is extremely well researched， and discusses the reasons that the American diet is the cause of many health problems and in fact shortens lifespan。 Dr。 Greger， citing many sources， advises us to eat a plant based diet。 I don't think I can follow all of his recommendations， but I just bought a bag of kale and vowed to drink more green tea。 Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for the ARC。 。。。more
