How Not to Age? Now that's a pretty attention-grabbing title isn't it? Perhaps only bested by that of the previous bestseller by the same author: How Not to Die.
Michael Greger, M.D. has a way with titles.
That stark, no-bullshit approach to naming his books applies to his writing style as well, and to his method for reading reams of scientific papers and extracting usable information for us non-medical professionals just trying to live our best lives.
Diving into data gathered in so-called "blue zones" where people live exceptionally long lives, Michael identifies the practices most likely to keep you feeling youthful, physically and mentally, well into your golden years.
And the news is good. No matter what age you are now, you can buy yourself additional years of health by making some modest dietary changes -- like increasing the percentage of plants in your diet, and reducing the amount of sodium.
