Jack Lalanne the Fitness Guru turns 95 years of age today. About a month ago, my grandfather, Allen Brown Sr. of Delhi, Louisiana turned 89. I sit and pondered today what he and my grandfather had in common which blessed them with long life.
Let’s explore. Jack Lalanne eats organic. My grandfather had his own garden he tended for years and ate organic until recent years. Jack Lalanne exercises and swims. My grandfather exercises daily with walks. Before he retired, he worked outdoors most of his life as a farmer and sharecropper.
Jack Lalanne has maintained and continues to maintain a good marriage to the same woman for many years. My grandfather had a wonderful marriage to my grandmother for 53 years until she passed some years ago.
Jack Lalanne loves to sing and so does my Grandfather. In fact, my grandfather had a singing group with his sons for many years called “The Soul Guiders.” The group has all new members now, but my grandfather was one of the founding members of the group.
Jack Lalanne seems to have a good attitude about life. My grandfather has a good attitude about life. My grandfather believes that you should “aim for the best and you’ll get the best in life.”
So, what have I learned from Jack Lalanne and my grandfather Allen Brown.
(1) Eat health organic foods (for me that would be raw organic fruits and vegetables by following a raw food diet).
(2) Exercise daily and make it a part of my lifestyle.
(3) Maintain a positive and productive mental attitude.
(4) Have a song in your heart.
(5) Show Devotion to my loved ones.
(6) Love unconditionally.
We always think it’s the right supplement or the right procedure or the right vitamin but it is the productive, positive, and loving life you choose to lead which promotes long life. So, here at Blue Lotus Living, we would like to say Happy Birthday to Jack Lalanne.
