DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In 1535, the French explorer Jacques Cartier became stranded by the harsh Canadian winter. Over fifty of his men had died from scurvy, the lack of vitamin C, and the rest were weak. The native Iroquois saved the lives of Cartier and the remaining men with a simple tea made from a handful of leaves of the white cedar tree. The leaves of the vast pine forest that surrounded them contained far more vitamin C than the limes the explorers had on their ship. Few people die from vitamin C deficiency anymore. But, more than 600,000 children died last year from a lack of vitamin A. Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common serious diseases in the world, eroding the lives of a billion people. Where can these people find the vitamin A and iron they need to regain their health? Now, nearly 500 years after Cartier, the answer can be found in the same place -- the green leaves growing all around us. Discover a new world of green leafy vegetables and find out how they can help build the food system we need for the 21st Century. Learn how to make green leaf vegetables more; nutritious, delicious, local, inexpensive, and sustainable."--Back cover.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNew York Times Bestseller “This book may help those who are susceptible to illnesses that can be prevented.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama “Absolutely the best book I’ve read on nutrition and diet” –Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zones Solution From the physician behind the wildly popular NutritionFacts website, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death. 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 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. History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet whenever you can. Have high blood pressure? 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. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (the number 1 killer in the United States)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to prevent the disease but often stop it in its tracks. In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top fifteen causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen -a checklist of the twelve 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.
