Dr. Ellsworth Wareham lives a lifestyle that many of us would never consider. He's been a vegan for 50 years, and he only has good things to say about this choice.
Dr. Wareham was performing heart surgery until he was 95 years old. He attributes his continued youthful resilience to a few things, one of them being his diet. He believes that staying away from animal products has helped him keep his heart healthy, which, in turn, keeps his cholesterol way down in a very healthy range. At age 100, his cholesterol is most likely much better than most of us have at half his age.
The other half of staying physically healthy for so many years? Mental health and happiness. When you listen to this wise man speak about his attitude toward every day of his life, you may want to reevaluate how you approach your days when you wake up in the morning.
This man's youthfulness is truly unbelievable. I can't imagine being as fit and happy as he is when I'm his age, can you? It just goes to show you how important it is to treat your body and mind with respect. You only get one life on this Earth, and if you want it to span many years, you have to really take care of yourself.
Of course, there are some things that you can't control, but why not get a hold of the things that you can?
