Yesterday, I walked for an hour while listening to this great interview with the lovely
and inspirational Mimi Kirk, who will soon turn 73!
Some of her tips for staying young include: having a good attitude, starting the day with green juice and eating as much raw food as possible. She describes how she came from a family of 7 siblings, but only 3 remain. Her two sisters still both have suffered from cancer take lots of pills. Mimi did not want to go that route, so after beginning to experience some health issues, like arthritis and weight gain, she tried raw as an experiment with her daughter for one week and loved it so much she decided to continue. As a result, she lost all her excess weight and began to feel absolutely great with no more pain from arthritis. Her boyfriend and daughter also lost weight from adding more raw food to their diet.
She is also a foodie and loves to eat well, so no suffering is involved! If you would like to find out more about what Mimi likes to prepare, check out her new book, Live Raw. If you order it directly from her, she will personally sign your book and send you a really cool dogtag necklace, inscribed with words to remind you to live your best life.
