What Would Jack Do?

For anyone interested in the link Spiderman was talking about, here is my latest post:

It is Jack LaLanne's "Rules of Fitness" and who can argue with a guy who can do fingertip pushups in his early 90's?!?

Very interesting post! I knew about most of that but something that stood out to me was actually him eating only two meals a day with ZERO snacks. As well as working out two hours a day. The man really was super human. I wonder how long he could of made it if it wouldn't of been for illness...

I think grazing, i.e. many smaller meals has done very well in the studies, so that's where I would put my money.  But Jack LaLanne's method may have the advantage of making sure that you do not overeat.

Yeah, it's kind of interesting:  you have the Supplement Guru, William Falloon, gently going after Jack LaLanne:

Falloon takes an abundance of supplements and tries to manage aging that way.  Of course, Jack LaLanne took a different lifestyle-based approach and so you have one kind of going after the other.  Without getting into politics or personality, the commentary is interesting.

By the way, Falloon had a recent heart-related health scare himself and resolved to start exercising afterwards because of it.  (He admits to hating exercise.)  Here is that article for those int'd:
