One of the fitness gurus of both the old and modern times is Jack Lalanne. He’s going strong, even at the good old age of 93. Many people are envy of his fitness and lifestyle as he still remains physically and mentally fit. Many people have tried to copy his lifestyle and regimes but not quite reached the same success. Jack Lalanne is someone whom has been concerned about his fitness for many years. He sticks to his regime of working out for two hours every morning. He consumes high doses of vitamins and eats a diet that contains high levels of enzymes and nutrients. He is particularly against white sugar and feels everybody should give this up. He has also given up chicken and red meats and consumes more soya protein. Eggs account for most his daily intake of protein with some coming from fish. Fish is important as it is one of the best sources of high quality protein as well as essential fatty acids. Jack found that he was addicted to junk food and sugar at a very early age, but soon decided to give them up. He turned his energy to health clubs and onto dieting from about the age of fifteen. He does not feel these all low carbohydrate diets are beneficial although he does recommend including natural grains, such as brown rice and whole wheat, in your diet. Consuming fresh vegetables is advised as they are a rich source of vitamins and minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium. Jack Lalanne’s diet includes consuming a minimum of ten raw and fresh vegetables each day. Jack has not eaten any deserts now for around seventy five years as they are high in sugar and calories. He advises gradually replacing all processed foods with more fish and raw vegetables and likewise consuming fruit juices rather than fizzy drinks and colas. All junk foods should be avoided and again replaced by health foods. Foods that contain high levels f fat and oil should be avoided as they are a common cause of obesity. Dairy products like butter and cheese are an example of this as they can lead to a build up of fatty tissue. Water is very healthy and it is advised to drink about six to seven glasses a day. As a testimony to his almost super human fitness, Jack has broken many records. If you decide to follow any of his plans you would be taking a step to feeling much healthier.
