Chasing Life: New Discoveries in the Search for Immortality to Help You Age Less Today

Just what I wanted to order

WOW! Lance Armstrong calls this book the closest thing we have to a map to the fountain of youth. I couldn't agree more. Dr. Sanjay Gupta has done his homework! The details were spot on but never too clinical to fully appreciate. It is rare to find someone with such a high medical IQ who doesn't write so far above the average reader to be understood. Sanjay lays out practical steps we can all take to reduce the chance of disease and increase the chance of longer life. You won't find his suggestions too hard to swallow nor out of reach for you to apply on a daily basis.I especially enjoyed the section on Antioxidants and Supplements. It seems the public as a whole doesn't realize the losing battle we are all fighting against free radicals. I used to think "free radicals" were rebellious soldiers in a third world country. Lol. Now I realize they are what is killing us and aging us. Thank God for Dr. Joe McCord and his research on SOD and other natural super-antioxidants. I never realized that normal antioxidants were basically useless and just another way to market products to an unsuspecting nation. If you think drinking an occasional green tea or tossing some broccoli into your salad will increse your life you are extremely uninformed.Everyone should read Chasing Life, because that's what most of us are trying to do anyway. I'm a Baby Boomer. I dont' want to get older any faster than I absolutely have to! If you apply the practical suggestions found in this book, I have no doubt your lifespan will thank you one day. I'm Chasing Life...and Finding It.

I just finished Chasing Life and found it to be a factual review of current scientific knowledge on the best and most sure-fire ways to improve one's health and potential longevity.Dr Gupta doesn't try to sell you any supplements or convince you to buy a dvd or special exercise equipment. He simply presents straight facts about what you can do to improve your health and reduce your odds of suffering from the most common diseases plaguing our society. I've read other books along these lines that attempt to convince readers to take specific actions based on less proven techniques. Dr Gupta's suggestions stick to the more traditional and proven methods for enhancing your health.Chasing Life does present interviews with a variety of leaders in various medical specialties offering glimpses into where science and medicine is heading.This is a well written, easy read. In my opinion Sanjay Gupta's reporting on CNN has always seemed credible and unbiased. This book does nothing to harm that reputation.

Lot of value added research and facts to benefit us all. While loaded with scientific detail it was easy to read

This is a very great book with lots of information regarding health issues. Sanjay cares about the human life and I appreciate his book. Also share with your families and friends.

I am a regular person who doesn't know all the ins and outs of medical health. This book "Chasing Life" opened up many topics that i was unaware of but wanted to know. I am 48 and still think of my self as being young. But reality is that our physical body is not. Therefore, i believe a book like this is most timely. Most important for me is Mr. Gupta mentioning the different studies behind the supplements or sciences, thus providing proof about them. Now i have more confidence in the reputation of each and can research further on my own. Which i did and now developed my own health regimen each day, be it doing exercise or taking multivitamins. I also recommend the 7 Pillars of Health by Colbert, that too is an excellent book. I wrote this review to save others time, our most precious commodity, and help in extending life as Mr. Gcupta aims to do for all of us who read his book.

This is a wonderful book to catch up on all the latest health trends without going into too much detail. I love the snapshot of important info at the end of each chapter.

I respect and enjoy Gupta on CNN, and eagerly anticipated his research on the topic of slowing down the aging process in this book. I had previously read Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman, M.D.'s "Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever." However, compared to that information-packed and practical application manual, "Chasing Life" is lightweight, as a book with lots of filler. It would have been an excellent primer as a long-form magazine article. "Chasing Life" draws a few important conclusions that "Fantastic Voyage" does not, and shares many others, but doesn't possess the depth that Kurzweil and Grossman's 450-page book goes to. I'd suggest first introducing yourself to the topic of slowing the aging process with "Chasing Life," then diving into "Fanstastic Voyage."  Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever

There's a chapter that talks about antioxidants very interesting, even though he doesn't mention the name of the product he is talking about, I know it's Protandim. The best way to make antioxidants instead of taking them, It is really amazing how this thing works, I didn't expect to read about it in this book. The book is amazing also.

I already read this book in Canada about 8 years back.It is Very Inspiring Book, as Longevity is also One of My Expertise Areas and Goal.Thank you.Have a Great Sunday !KJ Hashim'c-Cube'" Creative Canadian Consultant "91-779-905-8032
