Summary

Read by the author, Michael Greger MD.

'I have never recommended a book as good as this, ever.' - Chris Evans

The
Sunday Times bestseller and as featured on the trending Netflix show You Are What You Eat.

Live better for longer with this ultimate guide to longevity from the bestselling author of
How Not to Die.

We all want to stay healthy as we age but, with so many different claims out there, it can be hard to know the best advice to follow. In How Not to Age, Dr Michael Greger digs into the top peer-reviewed anti-ageing research to deliver a complete and optimal guide with simple steps to extend your lifespan and slow the adverse effects of ageing.

Inspired by the dietary and lifestyle patterns of the world’s centenarians and residents of ‘blue zone’ regions where people live the longest, Dr Greger presents easy, evidence-based ways to preserve the body functions that keep us feeling youthful, both physically and mentally. Can an apple a day really keep the doctor away? What’s better for your longevity, jogging for four hours or eating two handfuls of nuts twice a week?

Brimming with expertise, How Not to Age lays out practical strategies for living your longest, healthiest life – and for enjoying every moment of it.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

All doctors should study this

As others have said, it took me an hour to get used to Dr Greger’s unique voice. But I am from the UK. His enthusiasm is genuine and I really got into the listen, all 27 hours of it.

The information in this book is stunningly helpful. It is quite scientific, so those without a scientific mind may struggle a little. However, he links everything to his website with easy to digest videos.

I am a GP, and none of this type of science is taught to doctors in training. But nutrition and emotional learning is key to overall health and disease prevention. This book has provided me with a huge amount of vital information I have already started passing on to my patients.

annoying!

the narrator has a really irritating voice and manners. all he is doing is pushing a plant based diet endlessly without using all the research evidence. he seems to pick and choose what matches his aim

Not ideal for audiobook format, but valuable info amongst technical jargon.

This book has so many references to video URLs for extra info. Audiobooks in general are great for listening on the move, but if you want to understand the extra content via these videos then you'd need to stop constantly. It does not lend itself well to audio.

The technical terminology also makes this book difficult to follow - you really need to pay close attention.

The advice is as expected from a Dr G book - eat whole foods plant based. The book helps explain the 'why' behind well-known recommendations e.g. eat an apple a day. It also recommends specific foods containing chemicals that effect aging mechanisms, including novel recommendations e.g. wheat germ. For me, the practical value of the book lies in these novel recommendations.

If you are new to Dr G I would start with How Not to Die before reading this book.

Informative and entertaining book of your health

I have read all of Gregor’s books and he did not disappoint this time either. This was the first time that I did not read but listen to his work and in his presentation there was an added layer to the researches and statements. A great way to start your health journey if you haven’t started it yet! 100% recommend this book.

Another great book

Loved it but could have been a bit more concise. A lot of great information but it took a long time to finish.
