The Gene Smart Diet  by Floyd Chilton
Scientists have long suspected that severe calorie restriction promotes optimal health and longevity by stressing the body in a way that positively influences certain genes. But who wants to undertake a near-starvation diet for the prospect of living longer? The fabulous news is that we may not need to. Dr Floyd Chilton proposes that we can achieve the benefits of calorie restriction without actually cutting calories. Drawing on solid scientific evidence he illustrates how – by eating more of some foods and less of others – we can rewrite our genetic blueprint and lose weight, protect against “age-related” illness, and, ultimately, enjoy more healthy, vital years.

Last Rights  by Stephen P. Keirnan
In the 1970s, most Westerners died swiftly and brutally: of heart attacks, strokes, cancer or in accidents. But in the past three decades, medical advances have extended our lives and changed the way we die. In ‘Last Rights’, Stephen Kiernan reveals the disconnect between how patients want to live the end of life – pain free, functioning mentally and physically, surrounded by family and friends – and how the medical system continues to treat the dying – with extreme interventions, at immense cost, and with little regard to pain, human comforts, or even the stated wishes of patients and families. Backed with surveys, interviews, and intimate portraits of people from all walks of life.
