Lyrics to the song that was inspired by the interview:

HOW NOT TO DIE YET

CAPO 3rd 

Key D# 

VERSE D# G# 

Getting antioxidants from cooking with spices (spices) 

Sprouting seeds and grains across my counter (kitchen counter) 

Blending veg and fruits to make my green smoothies (smoothies) 

In every meal I'm adding some legumes (legumes) 

CHORUS (one strum - different strum) - 
Am                         G           F            C 
Whole foods made fresh are what I eat 
Am                    G          F        C 
Nothing fried, never meat 
Am    F            G    C 
As I try not to die yet 

VERSE 
Tumeric and pepper mixed together into almost every meal (healthy meal) 
Berries when I need them in the freezer cos they're full of vitamins (vitamins) 
Stopping damage to my  DNA with   broccoli (broccoli) 
Sprinkling ground flax seeds over everything I see (all I see) 

CHORUS 
Whole foods made fresh are what I eat 
Nothing fried, never meat 
As I try not to die yet 

INSTRUMENTAL C F C F  

MIDDLE (Quiet) 
Am                      G

      Em                              F 
To hear how healthy I've become

And Dr Greger's daily dozen

CHORUS (Quiet) 
Whole foods made fresh are what I eat 
Nothing fried, never meat 
As I try not to die yet 

VERSE 
I'm binging all day long on bags of broccoli (brocolli) 
And Walnuts are my favourite for omegas cos so they're so nutritious (nutrichness) 
Flaxseed muffins are my special breakfast treat (breakfast treat) 
And I'm cutting my cholesterol with legumes (legumes) 

CHORUS 
Whole foods made fresh are what I eat 
Nothing fried, never meat 
As I try not to die yet
