I am and always have been very interested in older people that are living happy healthy lives! They deeply inspire. What do they have to say? What do they attribute their vitality to?
Two days ago, a client asked me how to alkalize because she knew she ate a few too many acid producing foods that she liked. I suggested a few things she could change. Then explained the most powerful thing do, is to chew your food. Chewing has so many benefits. One you get in the habit, you can not eat without chewing well. It tastes so much better, is more enjoyable, relaxing and your food digests better! As we age we want to pay attention to our digestion. Poor digestion will drain your energy and leave you feel tired. Good digestion will free up your energy for you to do what you want to do! Run a sprint at 105?!
Enjoy this short story for the secret to his success.
TOKYO — Japanese centenarian Hidekichi Miyazaki set a fresh record as the world’s oldest competitive sprinter this week, one day after turning 105, but said he was disappointed at falling short of his own personal best.
“I wanted to shave off a few more seconds as I got 36 seconds while training,” Miyazaki, wearing a bright red T-shirt and running shorts, said after completing his heat with a time of 42.22 on Wednesday. His personal record of 34.10, chalked up when he was 103, remains unbeaten for centenarian.
Born on Sept. 22, 1910, Miyazaki was already eight when World War One ended and 34 when Japan was defeated in World War Two. He did not start running until he was in his 90s, since many of the friends with whom he had played the Japanese board game “Go” had passed away, according to Guinness World Records.
Miyazaki — known as the “Golden Bolt” for imitating Jamaican Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt’s famed lightening bolt pose — says he longs for the opportunity to challenge the fastest man in the world, according to Guinness World Records.
Asked the secret of his success, Miyazaki said he exercised daily, ate in moderation and chewed his food properly.
