About this audiobook

Read by the author, Michael Greger MD.

'I have never recommended a book as good as this, ever.' - Chris Evans

The Sunday Times bestseller and as featured on the trending Netflix show You Are What You Eat.

Live better for longer with this ultimate guide to longevity from the bestselling author of How Not to Die.

We all want to stay healthy as we age but, with so many different claims out there, it can be hard to know the best advice to follow. In How Not to Age, Dr Michael Greger digs into the top peer-reviewed anti-ageing research to deliver a complete and optimal guide with simple steps to extend your lifespan and slow the adverse effects of ageing.

Inspired by the dietary and lifestyle patterns of the world’s centenarians and residents of ‘blue zone’ regions where people live the longest, Dr Greger presents easy, evidence-based ways to preserve the body functions that keep us feeling youthful, both physically and mentally. Can an apple a day really keep the doctor away? What’s better for your longevity, jogging for four hours or eating two handfuls of nuts twice a week?

Brimming with expertise, How Not to Age lays out practical strategies for living your longest, healthiest life – and for enjoying every moment of it.

I thoroughly enjoyed How Not To Die and How Not To Diet so it made a lot of sense to pick up How Not To Age. I made a HUGE MISTAKE though. I picked up the Audio Book instead of the eBook like I usually do. It's actually read by Michael Greger, and I just can't stand the way he delivers sentences. The rhythm of his speech, the pauses, and the way he inflects and the actual pitch of his voice altogether are actually quite nauseating. I've tried really hard to listen to this book but my brain just naturally starts tuning out his voice, making me feel lethargic and my mind begins to wanter and I end up not hearing anything he says. I will probably get the eBook because from the bits I have heard it's the same great content that's super interesting, but he just doesn't have a voice I can sit and listen to in this audio-book format. What a shame! I'd even prefer a computer generated voice.
