One Hundred Twenty-Year Diet: One Hundred Twenty-Year Diet

Roy Walford (the author) is an active researcher in the field of gerontology (aging). His book, written for non-researchers, includes full scientific references as it introduces the study of aging and even a guide to how to separate scientific fluff from fact. The main substance of the book deals with how anyone can modify what they eat to live longer, and, more importantly, stay healthier longer -- at least as far as current research can determine. Other, more recent, references on this topic (known as "Calorie Restriction with Advanced Nutition (CRAN)), include the Jan 96 issue of Scientific America and a more recent book by Walford and his daughter containing more practical advice on how to practice CRAN yourself (titled: "The Anti-Aging Plan : Strategies and Recipes for Extending Your Healthy Years")
