03/01/2025

Greger (How Not To Age), a founding member and fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, researches how to prevent and reverse some of the leading causes of death by consuming anti-aging foods. Here, he offers more than 100 recipes for dishes that will, if not completely turn back the clock on aging, at least slow the clock's hands. After introducing his nutritional philosophy and answering basic questions, the book starts with recipes for staples that will be key components in the dishes to follow, such as Date Syrup 2.0 and Vegetable Broth 2.0. From there, it progresses to breakfast items, including Groatnola Plus and baked carrot-cake oatmeal, and then fuller dishes such as lentil-walnut burgers with cheesy sauce. The book places a special emphasis on recipes incorporating the nutritional powerhouses of beans and legumes. VERDICT An accessible, information-packed guide demonstrating that it is never too late to take steps toward a healthier lifestyle.—John Charles
