Loreen is Likely The oldest Woman in all off Oregon But That's not official because the state Does not Keep Those Records
we Know that Heredity Is a Big factor in Longevity
Probably 50% It Rates as being That Influential i
Don't have a Particularly Good Heredity Three of My Grandparents died At 72
My Grandmother lived about 85
Nobody in My Family's Lived to be my age
Then of Course you get into the Matter of your lifestyle and
I think that one has to
Be at peace in in his mind as Well as in His
As Well as Have other
Health a Good Health Habits and
Perhaps That's The reason Why
The Seventh day Adventists Have this Seven to ten Years They Say They live Longer?
Than The average is that i think they do have a sort of a Peace of Mind Which They Get from Their
Religious Convictions I
Happen to be a vegetarian and i think It has its Advantages in Longevity
I'm actually a Vegan a Lot of People Will Say Well where do you Get your Vitamin B12 from and
Where do you Get your Protein from and all that but we Know these Days That That's no problem
to have a Real Balanced diet on the vegetarian diet a
Lot of People Get Up and Just Run down the Road you know what i mean
With me i'm not that disciplined i have to have some structured form of?
exercise Where i see some benefits of What i do i go out and i'll prune a tree or mow the lawn or
Dig The Garden or something like That and i Help My Wife in the house even Run the vacuum Cleaner
something That's active
They do Say That being Married is an Advantage in Other Words a Matter of social
Support You Know What i mean and
I have i came from a large Family?
That is there were six siblings of My Family and i have
Five Children i think that That Is a Big factor all right in the persons peace of Mind
My son is born January 14th

What Would you Say are the the most important lessons you learned from Your father well
Wha My Father taught me from the Very Beginning he said That
Health Should Be Your first priority
and in order to do that You eat properly
try to be it timely, get your proper rest and keep your colon Clean above all
But at The top of the list cleanliness Index to Godliness that means inside and Out so in order to be clean on the inside
you have to eat properly and
Not a lot of stired Up boiled to death Food

He left fruit and
Vegetables no fried Chicken no spare ribs
Nothing of That Type and They Laughed at me call me the rabbit Eater and so

electron-rich Water That's right and This is the Kind of Water That Would be available
Naturally You Know in artesian springs but it's Been so processed and as It travels Through The City
That you know we Need the Additional Tools but

The Goal of Course is not Just to have a long life but

One of my Good Friends dr
Howard Muriad Always Says aging Is a Fact of life But look in your age is not and
What are the things to do for a long Healthy life according
to american college of medicine is Eat a Wide Variety of Plant Foods Maintain a Healthy weight choose a Diet low in
Fat and Cholesterol
choose a diet With Plenty of fruits and Vegetables and Be Moderate in the sugar salt and and so forth
we Know today That By eating Less You can live Longer
cutting Down on the Calories
50% increase in Longevity in Animal Studies with Thirty To sixty Percent decrease in calorie intake
How many you saw the National Geographic a Few Years Ago When they look at the different cultures of
Longevity The Okinawans the Sardinians in The seventh-day Adventists population in loma Linda
You Know in okinawa They They have quite a Bit of life Expectancy compared to in the united States they
Have more Centerians in their country Compared to the United States Here are some of the
Active Seniors in Okinawa That are Very active and their exercise and These Gentlemen are over a Hundred Years of age
Is a Hundred and three Year old Individual
and When you look at the net People that live to be over a Hundred Years of Age What do They see in
Okinawa They eat a Low calorie diet it's a plant-based diet Unrefined Carbohydrates Loaded Protein Low in sodium
9 to 17 servings of Vegetables Daily
7 to 13 servings of Whole grains Daily
2 to 4 servings of calcium rich Foods and a Lot of That is in the form of Seaweed
2 to 4 servings of Flavonoid rich Foods Such as Green Tea or Soybean based products and 2 To 4 servings a day of Fruit
The Very little Protein in fact it Only Makes Up about 10 percent of Their diet in the calories and
Very Little Sodium little or no, Alcohol and They use Healthy Types of Oils and fats
Here we have a TyPical?
280 calorie meal in america and a 280 calorie diet in
Okinawa and You can See They get much more Bulk
More you Know more Quantity of Food in the okinawan diet compared to the hamburger and That's one the reasons americans eat?
Too Much Because They're not Always Hungry They Get all These calories and Just small Pieces of Food and They don't Get Satisfied
Another area Is in the area of hunza up in the Himalayas my friend dr
Jim Hoffman Studied These People Number Years Ago The oldest Recorded Age Is a Hundred and Thirty Years Of Age a
Very pristine Mountainous region These Gentlemen are all Over a Hundred and six Years of age
The One the second one to the left is a Hundred and Six Years old and he walks 12 miles Every day and
When you're in hunza you're Walking up a lot of Hills
Here's a Beautiful pristine They're Very physically active
Apricots Is One of The Foods That They eat Every day in their diet rich in
antioxidants They Dry It and They have It fresh and They do everything organically But They're Beautiful Terraced Ways of growing
Whole-grain Bread The chapati is used in their diet every day when you look at Their diets a
Lot of Whole grains
80% of the vegetables That They eat Is raw with the Skins
20% are lightly Steamed so most of The diet is raw
Apricot Seed oil is used is their Fat and Very Sparingly Because it's Turns Rancid easily
grains Buckwheat millet Rice Corn Fruits Apricots
Mulberries Grapes You can See a Very Healthy diet an
Animal product account for Only One Percent of Their total Calories they do have a Little melt Butter and cheese
Very Sparingly small Amounts of meat averaging 3 Ounces per month Which is nothing
Actually They eat Meat about 13 Days a Year and The rest of The time they get a vegetarian diet Because They don't. Have Refrigeration
and in the United States We Have the seventh-day Adventist population and
Seventh-day Adventists are a Great Group to study Because They don't smoke They don't Drink 50 percent of seventh-day
Adventist uh Ds show that vegetarian Seventh-day Adventists live almost a decade Longer in life
Compared to the Average
American This Is a Good friend of Mine Holder Crooks Who lived to be a Hundred and two Years old she Was a
Seventh day Adventists Climbed Mount Whitney Every year in her 60s and 80s and at
92 she Was the oldest Woman to climb to the top of mount fuji and
She attributed a Lot of That Not Only to a Good exercise routine but her vegetarian diet
Jack Lalanne Was Raised a Seventh day Adventist and he Says exercise is King
Nutrition is Queen and if you Put them together you have a Kingdom?
He also Says and in fact of patricia Bragg and i had the opportunity to go to jacqueline's house Just about a Few months Ago
Before His 94th Birthday
The Nice Lunch with Him he's a 1 he's still Keeping fit Still exercising Regularly and you know what he Says?
Dying is Easy
Living Takes a Lot of Work
You Know dying all you have to do is Sit Around don't exercise Watch TV types of Junk Food That's easy
But Living Takes a Lot of Work and he Says that exercise he says is a pain in the butt
It's hard Work to do but That's what it takes
Now When we define aging a Lot of People Think of Wrinkles sun damage less Hair Poor Memory Poor Digestion
Reduced Circulation and
Aging Begins at The cellular Level That's where it all begins all cells have a membrane that Protects the walls and if Those are?
Compromised
Then We Start to age and There's One scientific truth that We See
Is that Regardless of What Causes disease or aging the Final common Pathway is that There is a Reduction in Water in
tissue and
There are Many different Theories of age and i'd Like to talk to you about One of them that Was developed by the
doctor i worked With dr. Howard Murad Called The cellular Water principle and
Water Is found in the Body in basically three areas Entry in the intracellular Level
Within connective tissue and Then There's Wasted Water Like edema
and That's the Goal is to increase our Intracellular watering and The connective tissue water and Reduce that Wasted Water
Think of a Grape You Know how nice a Grape is it's very Moist and it's got all That
moisture in It and you look at a Healthy cell membrane and think of That As a Grape
It's Got a Great membrane but What happens as
we
Bombarded By
Oxidants free Radicals It Damages and Puts Holes in that Cellular Wall and The Water is actually lost
Also inflamation takes place and We Get Damaged that Cellular Wall
Inflammation is from eating in pro-Inflammatory Foods Like The Meats and the cheese's and the Dairy products and all Those Things and we Lose That
Moisture The Thing is is to make sure that we promote our
Cellular Health By eating Foods That Build It up with Things that are rich in lecithin Healthy fats
The Right Types of Protein so that we Can Keep that Cellular Wall strong and Keep the moisture in
cell Your water principle Is a Key Theory in
Anti-Aging and One of the key Things in this Theory is that We Need to eat more Raw fruits and Vegetables
you Know What's a to drink six eight or eight Glasses of Water Every day
But the Water that you get in fruits and Vegetables
Is
Actually different Than Just The Type of Water that you get in Drinking Water It gets into the cells of the fruits and Vegetables Very
Easily and By eating a Water Based diet
we can Get That Water from the fruits and vegetables and It can Go into our cellular
Tissue into the into the cells and not Only that is that the fruits and vegetables have antioxidants and They Have?
Anti-Inflammatories in It so a
Vegan diet i believe is really The ultimate Type of diet for anti-Aging and particularly eating more Raw fruits and Vegetables and
