Summary
This is a summary of How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease by Michael Gregor MD and Gene Stone.
The book reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death. In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top 15 causes of death, this summary includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen - a checklist of the 12 foods we should consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting-edge nutritional science, these doctor's orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.
The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the 15 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 15 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.

Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug - and without the side effects. Fighting off liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation.

The 25 min motivational summary needed to encourage a change of mindset and gravitate towards revitalising your body with plants
The summary was very concise for such a long book and managed to condense and convey the core matter in 25 minutes. I guess this is a good for those looking into eating healthy or beginners looking for encouragement to include plant based diets. If you don’t have time to do your own research and need that push to make a lifestyle/nutrition change then I highly recommend. Voice could be less monotonous though.

Could be a 2 minute summary
Weirdly this short-arse book felt far too long. The entirety of this information could be summed up in a sentence "eat more plants, less processed animal products" it provided no contrasting points of view and therefore feels biased and boring. On the positive side I'm pleased I didn't purchase the original longer version. In short, I know this book doesn't take a long time to listen to, but honestly, I wouldn't bother wasting even that little amount of time listening to it "eat more plants, less processed animal products" you're welcome, I just saved you half an hour
