Jack LaLanne's secrets to longevity
Categories: Celebs & Entertainment
Surely you've seen the infomercials with healthy living spokesperson Jack Lalanne, where he talks about good health and tries to get to buy his juicer. I tell ya, at 91, that guy's got a lot of energy and if the juicer is his secret, sign me up.
Okay, so the juicer isn't the only reason he's a healthy as he is. He also works out every day -- for 2 hours! A brush with a sugar-induced illness that incapacitated him in his teens lead him to the path of healthy eating. These days, he's a vegetarian who gets lots of fruits and veggies and healthy proteins. And of course, lots of exercise. And he can't help but wonder why most people in America treat their cars better than their bodies.
During his long career in the fitness industry, he's opened health clubs, lead us on the path of fitness via the TV and convinced us to get our veggies through the aforementioned infomercial. And he's still going, which at 91 is pretty amazing.

I have his juicer and LOVE it. Even if it doesn't extend your life you can't beat good juice.

Jack was born on September 26, 1914, so he will be 93 in a few months. He doesn't have alzheimers or any heart disease, etc. so I listen to what he has to say. He's a smart businessman, but most of all he has cared about the health of others.

I am 60 years old and a juicer. I do eat meat also. My chest is 44 and my waist is 30. My skin is as smooth as it was in college. I had my eyelids lifted and my teeth are caps and crowns..other than that it's all me. I have sex often and usually with a partner half my real age..Life is good and I plan to be juicing well into the 100's..
