RIP Jack LaLanne

[Stephen W. Stanczyk]

LOS ANGELES - Jack LaLanne, the fitness guru who inspired television viewers to trim down, eat well and pump iron for decades before diet and exercise became a national obsession, died Sunday. He was 96. Full Story »

The man was something else.

Remember him for the guy getting sand kicked in his face at the beach ad.
96 is great but still only around 15 years more for all that healthy living.
We all die.

Lifestyle will only take you so far, genetics & luck appear to be the deciding longevity factors. My great-grandmother was born in 1864 a year before the Civil War ended and died at 104 in 1968.

Yeah I remembered that last night when I watched the Power Juicer commercial celebrating Jacks birthday of all things.Not one mention that he died.

Juicers are a waste of time in my opinion when you can just throw everything in a blender.I like vanilla Keifer mixed with a banana,apple and blueberries.That rind they toss out is the fiber that you need.

A very long time ago, I heard Jack LaLanne say words to this effect "If I had a dog and I let it start the day with coffee and a cigarette, they would put me in jail."
