Jack Lalanne - One Amazing Man!

At 95 years old, Jack Lalanne is a picture of health

. This man who has done so much to teach us about health and nutrition shows no signs of slowing down. And he doesn't look anywhere close to 95! How does he do it?

Jack began looking into improving his life through diet and exercise when he was 15 years old when he listened to nutritionist Paul Bragg talk about the importance of good nutrition and how it would improve your life. Up until that moment, Jack had been a typical teen who loved to eat junk food. His diet consisted of process and packaged foods that tasted good, but weren't good for him. He was tired of feeling weak and miserable, but after hearing about the benefits of good nutrition he vowed to change his life.

The very next day, Jack joined the YMCA and began exercising daily. He researched and studied everything he could find on the benefits of exercise and good nutrition. If he was going to improve his health, he wanted to do it right!

Jack made good health his life mission and his chose profession. He became a chiropractor and had the desire to teach people about preventative health care. So he opened a health club where he designed a variety of exercise machines using pulleys and cables.

People thought he was strange, after all exercise wasn't in fashion in the middle of the 20th century. New inventions had made it possible for people to sit back and enjoy life without the hard work of the past. No one realized that the hard work they used to do gave them necessary exercise that they now were not getting. Jack realized that fact and he was going to do what he could to promote the importance of regular exercise and good nutrition.

Gradually, Jack's ideas started to catch on and he was asked to host an exercise show on television. If you are a child of the fifties, sixties, or even seventies you may remember your mother working out with Jack Lalanne. With his fitted jumpsuit and ballet shoes he showed America how to get fit with jumping jacks, side twists, and sit ups. He also would give nutritional advice and health tips. He was no longer the man with strange ideas, he was an innovator of great ideas!

Jack continued his fitness show until 1985 when he was 71 years old. At a time when most people would be slowing down and enjoying retirement, Jack just moved on to new ventures. He has written eleven books, promotes vitamins and health products and has created his own juicing phenomenon. He has marked his birthdays with great physical feats. On his 70th birthday, he swam across Long Beach Harbor towing 70 boats each carrying 70 people and his hands and feet were shackled. How many 70 year olds do you know that would or even could do that?

We see Jack and his wife Elaine on infomercials, talk shows and in magazines promoting a healthy lifestyle. This is a man who truly wants to help people change their lives and find health and happiness. He wants them to find it through eating healthy natural food, not by taking a bunch of supplements.

Jack Lalanne is an amazing man. He is living proof that a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and good nutrition does more for your body than anything else. Wouldn't it be great if we could all be like Jack?
