This is an incredibly well-researched book with a huge amount of information. It was a fascinating insight into what we consume and how it affects our longevity. It has given me a lot to consider about my own health and I think it will benefit anyone looking to make changes with their health.

Wow!

I love Michael Greger's books. I find them informative and fascinating and am always able to take some really good tips from what he says.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Amazing listen! Fully recommend you all buy yourself a copy!
Giving this the full five stars
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was abundantly clear throughout this that Greger has thoroughly researched to pull this book together and I loved how he has brought all of this research together into one place for us and made it accessible.

I really enjoyed that I never felt lectured or like I was being told ‘this is the only way to be healthy’ or ‘you must do this’. Greger just presents the facts and does all the leg work or researching, reviewing and bringing it all together so that we have all the information we need to make the best choices for us. I’m already vegetarian and coincidentally eat a lot of what he mentions as being positive but it did make me think about some dietary choices I make and I will definitely be trying to limit my milk in my coffee and drink some more green tea!

My only criticism is that it’s long, really long. But having now finished it I don’t think this is the sort of book that’s really meant to be read all together. I mean you certainly can read it all cover to cover, but I think its strength lies in its comprehensiveness and in the fact you can refer back to this in the future and know it will have the statistics for you. It almost felt like a very digestible and palatable textbook - and I mean that in the best way possible! It feels like the cheat sheet to eating well and something that I could pick up on an afternoon and read a section whenever I want to refresh my memory.

In short, I feel much more well informed after finishing this and I can see myself wanting to refer back to this again in the future as it really does have a wealth of information contained in it.

I have read all of Michael Greger's books especially 'How not to Die', which was my favourite, until now. I used to refer to it on a regular basis and I still will, but this new book covers everything in fine detail, including the facts about ageing and a diet that can extend life significantly as well as what he calls healthspan, living to old age while in good health. I have already taken note of what the author said and included several things in my diet as a result of reading this book, or should I say listening to it, because it was an audio book.
Exercise is also important and I have tried to increase that.
This is my new favourite, but I will still read his other books, and I hope for more books from this author.
I would give this book ten or more stars if I could,
The referencing is brilliant and the content exceptional. Altogether in my opinion the best book I have ever listened to on this topic.
Needless to say, I highly recommend this book.It is jam packed with the latest research on ageing.
