 WISDOM FOR THE AGES - a great tool for the new year November 5, 2009
APPLE (NEW YORK, NY)
Great information.. not a written menu of what to eat, what to drink and thankfully no recipes .. calorie counters attached. Simply put this book has some information you may know and alot you may not have considered. A reminder that we do not live forever but we are living longer than our ancestors. For those of us who wish to address bad habits or at least attempt to learn more about their impact this is a good book. A simple but rewarding gift at the holidays for secret santa or grab bags as it is non gender specific and in time to set those new years resolutions.

Cancer patients take note August 8, 2009

My 24-year-old son is a GBM (brain cancer) patient & medical student. We've read LOTS of these types of books and this is by the far, the best and most sensible of the lot. Everyone can incorporate Dr. Gupta's guidelines for eating and exercising sensibly. We liked that he de-bunked a lot of the myths surrounding the causes of cancers (deodorant, cell phones, etc.), that he presented many viewpoints, the science behind his proposals, and that he doesn't make you feel guilty for your unhealthy habits. Very readable. Read with a highlighter in hand!
Great Book May 30, 2009
Thomas A. Smith (Montana)
This book is extremely informative and written in a casual tone that does not bore you to death. There's some great insight in this book and Dr. Gupta does an excellent job of describing the research that has been done on the subject of increasing longevity.
Highly recommended...
Good Book for Developing a Healthy Lifestyle May 4, 2009
Jeannette M. Williams (Philadelphia, PA)
I read this book for a book club, and I found it to be quite a good read. It covered several areas in the quest to "chase life" - or rather, to live as long and healthy of a life as possible. Good information from someone we have come to trust, and it is obvious that he did his homework in putting the book together.
