About this episode
Dr. Michael Greger is back with a barnburner of a new book, How Not to Age: The Scientific Approach to Getting Healthier as You Get Older . None of us loves the idea of feeling older, but it doesn’t mean getting sicker. As we say here at PLANTSTRONG, we do have a powerful influence on our aging process with what we eat – and the 13,000 studies that Dr. Greger cites in his new book show us that, once again, it’s plants for the win! Today, Dr. Greger shares some of this research and a slew of great advice to improve your longevity and healthspan, and keep you feeling vibrant for years to come. Dr. Greger's book covers multiple strategies for slowing the aging process and offers practical advice based on the overwhelming evidence and research. With so much misinformation in the anti-aging industry, his goal is to separate fact from farce and provide readers with reliable information. Rip and Dr. Greger discuss the details of preserving various aspects of our health, including bones, teeth, circulation, hair, vision, immune function, and more. They also touch on Dr. Greger’s Anti-Aging 8 -foods like nuts, greens, and berries that can improve your longevity. As he says, this new book will not only add years to your life, but life to your years.
