How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

5.0 out of 5 starsI'm Casing Life...and Finding It!
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on June 26, 2012
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A factual review of current scientific knowledge
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on April 30, 2007

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make your body healthy, Yes U Can !
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Would've made a great magazine article
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on May 12, 2007
Verified Purchase
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

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, maybe a little too detailed
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on January 1, 2013
Verified Purchase
I liked this book, it confirmed what I had read in similar books (The Blue Zones, The Okinawa Program). Dr. Gupta spends a lot more time detailing the research, who lead the research, where it was done etc. I'm basically a what do I do, what do I avoid type of guy so a little too detailed for my liking but I'm sure some people would appreciate that. The section of placebos and the work currently being done by scientists to make us immortal was new to me and fascinating.
My favorite book on this subject remains The Blue Zones.
