How not to die : discover the foods scientifically proven to prevent and reverse disease / Michael Greger, M.D., with Gene Stone.

Greger, Michael, (author.). Stone, Gene, 1951- (author.).

Summary:

The author examines the fifteen top causes of premature death in America: heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives. The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The fifteen leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn't have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger's advice, all of it backed up by strong scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer. In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top fifteen causes of death, this also includes the author's checklist of the twelve foods we should consume every day.
