On the hunt for a new page-turner? Why not work a little nonfiction into the mix with these surprisingly engrossing health-centric titles? You might even find a new go-to resource for healthy living. 
Healthy Aging: A Lifelong Guide to Your Well-Being
Dr. Andrew Weil has written quite a number of health and wellness books. In this one, he endeavors to bring a new perspective to older adults. He’s not writing as if he can stop aging, rather, he’s writing to help readers age well. This tome includes insights on everything from healthy eating to the science of the aging process and a look at exercise, breathing and stress-management techniques that deliver benefits to mind and body alike.

The Longevity Book: The Science of Aging, the Biology of Strength, and the Privilege of Time
To be clear, yes, Cameron Diaz wrote this book. You might be asking, what can one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood possibly have to tell me about longevity? It’s a fair question, particularly given that Diaz is not yet 50 herself, but rest assured, this starlet comes armed with science, experts and experience. Her first book, The Body Book, was researched and written for young women and gave Diaz the opportunity to share all those things she wished she had known earlier. The Longevity Book continues her pursuit of this topic in the same frank and actionable style. Alongside peers and experts, she explores the aging female body and the steps we can all take to create abundant health and resilience.

The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully
Joan Chittister is a prolific author, and with this book, she turns her pen to the topic of embracing the aging process. Through 40 essays covering an array of topics such as sadness and success, Chittister offers advice on being active and seeking connections during the golden years. Her perspective is perhaps the greatest asset in the work. Just take a look at this comment she made about writing The Gift of Years: “The thing most wrong about this book is that I may be too young to write it. I am, after all, only 70.”
