How Not to Age
by Michael Greger
Greger's enormous evidence review of ageing pathways and the diet and lifestyle factors that affect them, with thousands of citations and a plant-based conclusion. It is exhaustive, partisan and the most thoroughly referenced book in its field.
Read it if…
you want the citations and will tolerate the agenda.
Skip it if…
you want a short, balanced guide.
Three things you will actually use
- Ageing has pathways; some are influenced by what you eat.
- Plants, by weight of evidence.
- Small, consistent changes compound over decades.
Do this first
Read the 'anti-ageing eight' summary chapter and adopt one item.
Our verdict
Exhaustive and partisan.
