Chasing Life

Chasing Life
is the title of a book written by CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. In it he explores the different factors that go into living a long life, free of disease. I recently read the first chapter of this book and am anxious to see what the rest of it holds.

As he was preparing for this book, he was contacted by Russian doctors who believed that they had discovered the fountain of youth. So he made the trip to Moscow in Winter to see for himself what they had discovered. In a nice medical office he was introduced to a doctor who was providing treatments to some of Europe's wealthier people.

Interestingly, Dr. Gupta states that 70% of our life expectancy comes from our everyday decisions regarding diet, exercise, and dealing with stress, etc. That we have more to do with living a long, healthy life than does our genetics.

This Saturday and Sunday, CNN will host a special report on this idea of chasing life and what goes into your health. To read the full article I wrote, click here www.brianmorganfitness.com/Chasing-Life.html
