For centuries, adventurers and scientists have believed that not only could we delay death but that "practical immortality" was within our reach. Today, many well-respected researchers would be inclined to agree. In a book that is not about anti-aging, but about functional aging--extending your healthy, active life--Dr. Sanjay Gupta blends together compelling stories of the most up-to-date scientific breakthroughs from around the world, with cutting-edge research and advice on achieving practical immortality in this lifetime. Gupta's advice is often counterintuitive: longevity is not about eating well, but about eating less; nutritional supplements are a waste of your money; eating chocolate and drinking coffee can make you healthier. CHASING LIFE tells the stories behind the breakthroughs while also revealing the practical steps readers can take to help extend youth and life far longer than ever thought possible.

Product description

From Publishers Weekly

Readers seeking the key to everlasting life will find some clues in neurosurgeon Gupta's survey of the latest research on longevity. Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, touches on recent breakthroughs as he offers some basic guidelines for adding years to what he and other aging experts call "health span." The goal, Gupta says, is not merely to live longer. To help readers live longer and better, he boils down conflicting health advice and makes some surprising prescriptions. For example, it is not what you eat, but how much you eat that affects longevity; vitamin supplements may be a waste of time and money; and a little upper-body strengthening is far more effective than an hour on a StairMaster. To support this advice, Gupta relates the experiences of a 103-year-old woman from Okinawa; a former executive who began training at age 86 and is a record-breaking sprinter at age 92; and others who are aging well by staying active, eating wisely, being positive and maintaining strong social networks. While stem cell injections, nanotechnology, cryonics and other possible therapies are on the horizon, Gupta tells readers that extending life today is as easy as eating less, moving more and exercising the brain. While Gupta's mix of futuristic science and do-it-yourself advice is far from seamless, many readers will find the lessons in his tales of the long lived worthwhile. (Apr.)

The best way to make antioxidants instead of taking them

Reviewed in Canada on May 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

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.

How our body ages in connection with how the neuro-genetic aspect of our DNA

Reviewed in Singapore on August 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

How eating habits, environment, exercise, education, and social-economic aspects of how we nurture ourselves were mostly true during our childhood, youth to middle age. However, once we begin to age, it is the Genetic aspects and how the Brain ages that determine how we respond to challenges in life.

I'm Casing Life...and Finding It!

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2012

Verified Purchase

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.

A factual review of current scientific knowledge

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2007

Verified Purchase

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.

Make your body healthy, Yes U Can !

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2008

Verified Purchase

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.
