Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Lacie on April 15, 2014

I'm disappointed in this book, as it offered very little new information. I guess if you are new to a healthy life (and like a bunch of study statistics) then it might be a good fit. My biggest problem was the casual dismissal of the problems hormones and GMOs in our food causes. His only real argum......more

Goodreads review by AngiJo on June 13, 2023

This book is a good reminder to choose a healthy diet and to exercise. And Gupta also explained the benefits of maintaining your mental health by staying active in old age and he suggests other ways to do it. By this time a lot of the information is well-known (I read this 16 years after it was writ......more

Goodreads review by Sara on September 30, 2019

My biggest critique is that Dr. Gupta doesn't address the health benefits of eating a completely whole foods, plant based diet though he alludes to Dr. Campbell's The China Study; no doubt that a diet such as this would allow one to chase life and live a long, healthy existence. I did appreciate how......more
