Free Audiobook : How Not to Age, by Michael Greger

Upon researching top peer-reviewed anti-aging medical studies, Dr. Michael Greger, the creator of NutritionFacts.org, discovered that diet is key to influencing various anti-aging strategies. In "How Not to Age," this globally acclaimed doctor and nutrition expert dissects the science behind aging and chronic diseases, offering insights into preventing common age-related illnesses.

Traditionally, physicians have viewed aging as an inevitable decline in health, but Dr. Greger suggests that aging need not equate to increased illness. He identifies eleven aging pathways within our cells that can be influenced. For instance, enhancing autophagy, our cells' method of recycling waste, is possible with spermidine-rich foods like tempeh, mushrooms, and wheat germ. Foods high in quercetin, such as onions, apples, and kale, can help manage senescent cells responsible for inflammation and various age-related diseases. Additionally, Dr. Greger challenges the need for expensive anti-aging products, advocating for affordable, natural alternatives.

Drawing inspiration from diets and lifestyles of people in “blue zones” and centenarians, Dr. Greger provides straightforward, scientifically backed methods to maintain youthful vitality in both body and mind. "How Not to Age" is filled with expert advice and practical tips for living a longer, healthier life.
