Hi
I just wanted to share this story I just found on a raw foodist website.
I find it fantastic that the power of your mind and what you eat is so powerful when it comes to life!
My plan - to live at least to 109 years old!
Bring it on!
Always aware of keeping my diet clean, reducing stress and enjoying life!
Please read, I know you'll find it interesting.

109 Year-Old Raw Foodist Recently Celebrates His Birthday
Raw foodist and author Bernardo LaPallo just celebrated his 109th birthday on August 17. Take a look at the video from Fox News Phoenix below to see just how young and vibrant this amazing man is:
Bernardo looks younger than most people I know in their 70s and 80s! He is a living example at just how powerful diet and a positive outlook in life can be.
109 years old! Let's put that into perspective. Birth year: 1901. Bernardo is still very much alive and kicking, and was born before Lou Gehrig, Charles Lindbergh, Bob Hope, George Orwell and 13 years before World War I.
And he's not even done yet. Bernardo expresses to the interviewer in the video above just how often he thinks of death: never.
A true Immortalist!
Bernardo LaPallo is not a 100% raw foodist
If you watch the video, note that he is not a 100% raw foodist and still consumes fish along with some other basic grocery store foods, but the bulk of his diet is fresh vegetables, fruits, and fish. I would wager that most healthy centenarians are not so obsessive about their diet and don't maintain the strict dogma that many of us in the movement are prone to. Bernardo is a true Health Rebel.
Bernado shows us that a relaxed and open attitude to diet is amenable to a long and truly healthy life.
Bernardo doesn't just eat his way to youth, though. He is a confirmed advocate of using olive oil on his skin every single day as one of his youthening protocols. Those of us in the optimal health community are well aware of the benefits of rubbing coconut oil on the skin as often as possible.
Not Waiting to Die...
What's so cool about Bernardo's story, is that he isn't just sitting down everyday with tubes sticking up his nose. He is very active and very aware. His brain is firing and he has a fire in his eyes.
In fact, this centenarian is the author of a recent book about health and longevity called Age Less, Live More. In addition, he is actively pursued as a consultant by those wishing to maintain their own high levels of health from around the world.
What else does the future hold for Bernardo? In addition to releasing another book soon, he wants to open up a raw food/American food hybrid restaurant in his town of Mesa. Oh, and he has a blog too: http://www.agelesslivemorestore.com.
