About this listen
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a book summary of How Not To Die by Dr. Michael Greger and not the original book.
Would you like to live longer?
Would you like to feel strong and energized every day?
This book can show you how.
From the original blurb:
"The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of www.nutritionfacts.org, examines the 15 top causes of premature death in America: Heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson’s, high blood pressure, and more. He explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives."
It takes the average person 68 minutes to read 10,000 words. For the price of a coffee and a time investment of roughly 4 percent of your day, I believe the wisdom in this book to be well worth its value. This book allows you to skip to the nuggets of wisdom and actionable content in a very easily absorbed, listenable way including key takeaways at the end of each chapter. This book summarizes the original in detail to help people effectively understand, articulate, and imbibe the original work by Greger. This book is not meant to replace the original book but to serve as a companion to it.

Important note: This is a summary of The Obesity Code by Jason Fung and is not the original book. In his important book, Dr. Fung takes aim at age-old myths about weight control and the "perfect diet". The result? An adaptable, sustainable plan where no foods are off-limits and no food groups are excluded while addressing larger underlying issues related to hormones, appetite, insulin resistance, and fat storage.

Story
Have you ever felt stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of overeating, yo-yo dieting, and obsessive thoughts about food? Whether you feel defeated by your lack of self-control or overwhelmed by thoughts and longings for food, the answer to our food fixation does not lie in the $500 billion global diet industry. This is not a diet book and it's not a healthy eating plan. Because at the core, our problem is not really what we eat. It's why we seek fullness in something that will never satisfy. A healthier relationship with food through a stronger relationship with Christ - that's the goal of Full.

Story
We all know the dangers of sugar and salt: but the danger attributed to the second white crystal has more to do with getting too little of it, not too much. Too little salt can shift the body into semi-starvation mode, causing insulin resistance, and may even cause twice as much fat to be absorbed for every gram that's consumed. Too little salt in certain populations can also actually increase blood pressure as well as resting heart rate.

Quick and easily digestible summary!
What a time saver! This summary gets right to the point and reiterates the key concepts! Well written. The only negative is that I could have enjoyed a more natural voice performance. It sounds very automated and mechanical instead of human. That being said it is also clear and well articulated.
