From the physician behind the wildly popular Nutrition Facts website, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can help prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death.
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 to help prevent and reverse these diseases, 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.
Immunopathology, Volume 107 in the Advances in Virus Research
series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume
presenting interesting chapters. Each chapter is written by an
international board of authors. Viral Immunopathology will cover
how the immune system, innate or adaptive, is often at the root of
viral pathogenesis. This is true in diverse host systems including
vertebrates, plants and insects. This volume will present the
latest findings in this interesting and important area of research,
and will include human, plant, fish, and insect viruses. Different
kingdoms have evolved very diverse immune responses to virus
infection but the common theme - namely, that effects of viruses on
host immune systems can condition the induction of viral disease -
will unify this concept across kingdoms.
Wastewater-based Epidemiology for the Assessment of Human Exposure
to Environmental Pollutants discusses wastewater-based epidemiology
(WBE) and its use in risk assessment and monitoring of human
exposure to hazardous pollutants and pathogens. The book explores
the health impacts of organic and inorganic pollutants from
pesticides, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, phthalates, personal
care products, and endocrine disruptors in the wastewater
environment. The book examines the application of wastewater-based
epidemiology in determining health risk and exposure to infectious
diseases caused by viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, parasites, and
bacteria. Other topics include detection techniques, sampling
techniques, analytical methods, biomarkers, and the use of
biosensors in wastewater-based epidemiology studies.
