Instant New York Times Bestseller Uncover the evidence-based science to slowing the effects of aging, from the New York Times bestselling author of the How Not to Die series When Dr. Michael Greger, founder of NutritionFacts.org, dove into the top peer-reviewed anti-aging medical research, he realized that diet could regulate every one of the most promising strategies for combating the effects of aging. We don’t need Big Pharma to keep us feeling young—we already have the tools. In How Not to Age, the internationally renowned physician and nutritionist breaks down the science of aging and chronic illness and explains how to help avoid the diseases most commonly encountered in our journeys through life. Physicians have long treated aging as a malady, but getting older does not have to mean getting sicker. There are eleven pathways for aging in our bodies’ cells and we can disrupt each of them. Processes like autophagy, the upcycling of unusable junk, can be boosted with spermidine, a compound found in tempeh, mushrooms, and wheat germ. Senescent “zombie” cells that spew inflammation and are linked to many age-related diseases may be cleared in part with quercetin-rich foods like onions, apples, and kale. And we can combat effects of aging without breaking the bank. Why spend a small fortune on vitamin C and nicotinamide facial serums when you can make your own for up to 2,000 times cheaper? Inspired by the dietary and lifestyle patterns of centenarians and residents of “blue zone” regions where people live the longest, Dr. Greger presents simple, accessible, and evidence-based methods to preserve the body functions that keep you feeling youthful, both physically and mentally. Brimming with expertise and actionable takeaways, How Not to Age lays out practical strategies for achieving ultimate longevity.

De nouveaux régimes à la mode se succèdent régulièrement ; pourtant, la question du surpoids se pose sans cesse... Convaincu qu’une approche différente s’impose, le Dr Greger explore dans ce livre toutes les recherches sur ce phénomène à travers le monde, pour dévoiler ses véritables causes et y remédier. Avec une rigueur et un esprit critique bienvenus, il analyse les critères qui optimisent la perte de poids – tels que la densité calorique, la teneur en fibres ou la forme des aliments – et montre à quel point un menu à base de plantes est crucial. L’auteur va bien au-delà des choix nutritionnels et s’appuie sur les dernières découvertes dans des domaines de pointe, comme la chronobiologie, pour déterminer les facteurs qui maximisent notre capacité naturelle à brûler les graisses. Le Dr Greger propose une démarche proactive dans un ouvrage novateur, ultradocumenté et très bien vulgarisé, qui mettra fin aux cures minceur et remplacera ces luttes constantes par un mode de vie simple, sain et durable.

Quando il dottor Greger ha esaminato le ricerche sull’invecchiamento e i rimedi per la giovinezza, ha scoperto che la dieta è uno strumento infallibile per contrastare gli effetti dell’età. Sebbene l’invecchiamento sia stato trattato come una malattia, non implica necessariamente un aumento delle patologie. Esistono undici percorsi di invecchiamento cellulare che possiamo interrompere e invertire cambiando lo stile di vita: l’autofagia, il processo di riciclaggio delle sostanze inutili, può essere stimolata con la spermidina (presente in tempeh, funghi e germe di grano), mentre le cellule senescenti, responsabili di infiammazione e malattie legate all’età, possono essere combattute con alimenti ricchi di quercetina, come cipolle, mele e cavoli. Ispirandosi agli stili di vita delle «zone blu», dove si vive più a lungo, il dottor Greger, medico nutrizionista e fondatore di NutritionFacts.org, offre metodi semplici e scientifici per preservare la salute del corpo. Come non invecchiare è un’opera chiara, pratica e ricca di consigli per vivere meglio e più a lungo, senza costi eccessivi.
