Focusing on longevity and cultivating a life that prioritizes health and well-being is not only good for the soul, but research says it could even help you live longer. People born in the U.S. today can expect to live to an average age of about 79, according to the CDC. A century ago, life expectancy was closer to 54, and evidence shows that the chance of living a long and active life is to follow the advice you’ve likely heard from your doctors: eat well, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep, quit smoking and reduce your stress. 

While that might be easier said than done, if you’re looking for a step-by-step guide or manual on how to create a life focused on longevity, we’ve rounded up just a few of the best books about that are well worth the read.
