I was reminded of Jack LaLanne, who hosted a television program over 50 years ago that promoted the same principles Peter advocates. LaLanne, who lived to be 96, attributed his longevity and health to consistent exercise and good nutrition—all through a program that was completely free. I watched his shows when I was in my twenties, and now in my eighties, I can still do 90 push-ups, ride my bike at a moderate intensity for over an hour, and maintain a 28-inch waist. I owe all of this to Jack's influence.

No wonder Dr Attia wanted to prolong his prime years… more prime time spent on the island 🏝️

I am almost 85; I still work full time, also teach dancing and go to the gym 2-3 times each week, play golf and dance the night away whenever I can. I have had at least 3 relatives who have lived to 100-102; I plan to live to 105 and plan to keep dancing for as long as I can. Not slowing down, so far!

Get active in your 40s & 50s and don't stop. Visit with family and friends until your last day. Most importantly, be a person that others want to be around.

Regardless of whether Dr. Attia’s approach extends life, exercising well has always left me feeling better. I would like to optimize the time I have left, and feeling better is a big part of that experience.
