How Not To Die, Revised & Updated (CHES)

Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease

This course is only for CHES practitioners.

Traditional medicine is good at treating acute illnesses, but not chronic diseases. This book has a wealth of nutrition science. The author, Michael Greger, MD, maintains a huge database of nutrition studies for his website, NutritionFacts.org, and this book condenses that data into healthy eating guidelines. The book has 147 pages of evidence-based references that support his recommendations behind the diet that prevents and reverses the 15 leading causes of disease-related death. 

Quotes:

We strive to make the best of our lives by maintaining our physical health and mental happiness. As food is the fuel for our survival, how healthily we survive and how well we recover from illness may also depend on what we eat. Michael Greger’s How Not to Die suggests different preventative and curative measures for tackling ailments we are all vulnerable to. I hope that this book may help those who are susceptible to illnesses that can be prevented with proper nutrition. ― His Holiness the Dalai Lama

The primary determinant of our health and well-beings: what we eat and how we live. In this extraordinary and empowering book, Dr. Michael Greger explains why. Highly recommended. ― Dean Ornish, M.D., author of The Spectrum and Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease

The news that a plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat is spreading. Dr. Michael Greger presents the groundbreaking science on how simple plant-based food choices help us live healthier and happier lives. Dr. Greger describes which foods to eat to prevent the leading causes of disease-related death and shows how a diet based on fruits, vegetables, tubers, whole grains, and legumes might even save your life. ―Brian Wendel, Founder and President of Forks Over Knives
