"Always remember this: What you eat today will be walking and talking tomorrow." Jack LaLanne

I am currently reading Jack LaLanne's book, Live Young Forever.  Although he is now deceased, according to his wife he was not ill in the 60+ years she knew him.  That seems to me to be an optimal way to go.  Healthy, active and loving life - right up to the end of it.  The book says he never ate anything out of a box or can.  Of course, he lived in California where fresh produce was available year-round. He worked out with weight lifting and swimming 2 hours every day, and for a celebration dinner he had vegetable soup,  broiled fish, a salad of 10 different raw vegetables and fresh fruit for dessert.  While this may seem extreme to some, LaLanne certainly models some behavior that obviously worked for him.  He died at 96 years of age, and his family said he exercised even on the day he died of pneumonia.  In what ways could you be eating better to protect you physically and cognitively?
