night. Never exercised or took a vitamin once his entire life. Had a shot of
whiskey every day most of his adult life. He recently died at 96, just like
his polar opposite Jack Lalanne.

No show but he was much funnier than Jack!

I can remember as a kid, watching Jack on TV talking about the horrors of
eating anything but lettuce as I sat there with my box of Oreos. :-) Later
on I heard a story about how he ate a cookie once and made himself throw up
he was so upset. My uncle died a couple years ago at age 93...a quart of
Irish whiskey a day, and then switched to brandy in the last few years
because he felt it was better for your health....he was not cremated for
obvious reasons, but he did have a bag piper :-)

Genetics will make up for some hard living. it is interesting is that
his workouts, or what I can remember, were quite a bit on calisthenics
and now p90x, Insanity workout etc. while are done at a much faster
pace are in vogue. Part of his philosophy of just move around has
value.
He ultimately was the ultimate huckster from his exercise show to his
gyms and to juicers.
Didn't he live on juice or something? I tried carrot juice once because of
him...and once was enough for me.

He was on one of the home shopping channels with his wife, selling his
latest juicer just a few weeks ago. Although I don't drink it too often,
carrot juice is good stuff. I first tried it 40 years ago.

and eating right is 1. to maximize whatever lifespan
you are given in your genes but 2. also give
you a high quality life while you are alive.
My grandfather lived to the same age as Lalanne,
but he smoked until he was 65, and drank every
day, although not binging. His exercise was
gardening. But the last 6 years
of his life he spent dragging around around an
oxygen tank (emphysema) and low oxygen causes the rest of
your body to fall apart, so his last years
were not that fun. I would rather die on
a hike in the woods than confined to a chair
in front of a tv.
