How Not to Age: The Scientific Approach to Getting Healthier as You Get Older by Michael Greger
3.5
What an intense book, with so much valuable information!
Dr. Greger looks at study after study to provide us with the best information to help us determine the best way to prevent aging. There is so much information it is almost information overload. It is a great resource though with chapters dedicated to various aging concerns such as high blood pressure, hearing or hair loss, and almost anything else you can think of.
As an audiobook it is read by the author and the narration is great and quite humourous, though he admits himself there is sometimes TMI regarding the personal information he shares. In my opinion, it would be better listened to alongside a hard copy of the book so that you can refer to and flag parts for rereading. It is also something to listen to and read chapter by chapter, slowly to absorb and implement over time, a long time!
There is no doubt Dr. Greger intends to give a lot of information to help us better live our lives. This is my first book by him and I will go back and read his past books but with the idea that I will take a year to read, absorb, and to put in place any actions I think I should.
Thank you to @netgalley and @macmillan.audio for the opportunity to read and review this book.
