Diet of a healthy, happy 95-year-old.

All natural diet has huge benefits and you are proof of that. I follow it much as possible myself with mostly fruit, vegetables and grains, nuts, beans and seeds.

Daniel in the bible taught me how to eat to stay alert and healthy and His way works. I am 95 and still turning out paintings. There is a seascape of mine on this post.

Daniel was a smart Jew, captured by King Nebuchadnezzar who used his smarts to help him rule. He put Daniel on his rich diet, but Daniel objected and talked the king into letting him eat his diet of simple whole grains. The king said he would get weak, but Daniel thrived on this diet.

I put myself on this diet. I keep to foods as close to how God created them as possible, resisting all the “improvements” man has made. I found cornmeal that still has the germ, flour that is simply ground with nothing removed from it, oils that are pressed and not processed, rice that has been left as God created it. I found eggs from chickens that eat the diet God created them to eat, science tells us these eggs don’t cause high cholesterol. For awhile I found a farmer who routinely had his cows tested for tuberculous, and drank only raw milk I got from him.

I have enjoyed making a study of spices, and used them liberally.

I would love to be like you when I am 95. What is your diet like? What foods do you avoid?

Georfe Burns, who died at 100, had this to say on his long life..

"Well, I'm not much of an eater, and I never eat vegetables. I don't drink water but I have four martinis a day. I like martinis better. There's water in martinis. And I smoke 15 to 20 cigars a day."

While taking care of yourself can lengthen your life, there's clearly more to it than that.

Even doctors say stress is bad for us. Our attitude has a lot to do with our health. I'll bet George had a good attitude toward life.

Christians who love, accept, and don't judge have the best chance all around. When something goes wrong for me I sit quietly in meditation and let God fill my body and life. Bad things still happen but it heals, too, and I am given a way to make the best of the bad I can't change.

Thank you for sharing, he sounds like a great guy to know!
