He looks like he could be almost 40 years younger!

Wow incredible!
My friends dad just died at 102.5. He was still pushing his wife around in her wheelchair when she died a couple of years ago @ 98.
He had no cane and still had his wits about him.
For his 100th a friend of his son's took him out on a motorcycle ride, getting him up to 100 km. He had had a motorbike for any years.
No idea of his diet. He used to walk to work @ about maybe 8 miles. Always soft spoken and pleasant despite all the teenagers (me included) regularly hangin around in the basement.
Certainly he is one case of attitude being the golden mean

Check this guy out.109 years old! He has a series of videos on longevity if you search on youtube.
I have read an article about this centenarian a while ago, but forgot his name. Recently I was searching and searching the internet but couldn't find him.
Thank you very much!
Bernando Lapallo is very inspiring...

Hey I don't really have time to watch these today but thanks for sharing. What is his stance on meat and grains?

Did he mention raw vs. cooked at all? I don't recall that.
I thought he mentioned raw veges at first but on second listen I didn't pick it up. Maybe heard raw with the salad and transferred it in my mind. There's a lot a stuff that goes on in there that I don't consciously control. LOL
Toast is part of his breakfast. He is vegetarian except for fish 4 - 5 oz per and 3 times/wk.
I truly believe that there is a number of external factors such as attitude, waking early, the daily walk and the tea. I "think" that raw paleo when combined with other things is the answer. This is how I try to live. If you are plunked in front of a TV or a computer all the time you're asking to not make it very far.
My grandmothers made it to early 90s. My maternal aunt is 92, mother is almost 89. She swims all summer in an outdoor pool right up to the end of the season. She's one of the last swimmers of the year.

He admitted to eating canned sardines and tuna too in addition to the fresh fish 3x/wk and didn't specify the frequency, so all we know for sure is fish 3 or more times per week, IIRC. He could be eating fish nearly every day for all we know and he said he occasionally has cheese and once a year he has lamb.

I still would like to find a 100 year old raw foodist...

we will have to wait and see if the current gurus make it. although from what I see usually, the gurus suffered and were sick before they found out and cured themselves. So they are damaged goods.
Unlike this 109 year old guy, he was tutored really early by his father. So he is a 2nd generation educated health advocate.
Something like us fathers now who are tutoring our children.
