Jack LaLanne died yesterday at the age of 96.

Before there was Arnold, or Charles Atlas, there was Jack LaLanne. 

He opened up the first modern health club in Oakland, California in 1936. It had a gym, juice bar and health food store.  And this was during the Great Depression!

Even on his TV show back in 1951, he was advocating good health and exercise.

“Exercise is king, nutrition is queen. Put them together and you got a kingdom”

Here is a video from YouTube, circa 1951.  Take a look at his sample meal plan.  60 years ago, he was preaching against refined sugars, fast foods, fatty foods, and process foods.  Of course, most of America didn’t listen and look at them now.  Some have to pay for 2 seats on Southwest Airlines.

 

Interview with Jack LaLanne and Joe Sarti

My good friend and fellow colleague Joe Sarti had a radio show on Voice America.  One of the more popular broadcasts on his show included Jack LaLanne from the episode on September 10, 2008.

At the time of the show, Jack was 2 weeks shy of his 94th birthday.  How many geriatrics do you know still have the same spunk and energy as Jack?  While his beliefs may not suit everyone (like workout daily until muscular failure), he does preach many core fundamentals that everyone should adhere to.

Jack is on the second half of the show. On the first half, Raymond Francis is the guest. He is best known for his two books, Never Be Sick Again and Never Be Fat Again

      @Nat – with the exception of black coffee (I drink mine with hot milk), my diet is quite similar to Jack’s recommendations. I only recently found the video on YouTube.

    As far as I know; coffee kills vitamins, ie if you drink orange juice and then coffee, the result is no good; you have wasted the vitamin c. I have been told that you should wait 2 hours before you can drink your coffee or vice versa. True? Help me out with this one. Cheers.

      @Harry, the problem with caffeine is that it has a double edge sword effect. It prevents (or slows) the absorption of magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, and B Complex, just to name a few. As well, it is a diuretic, so you uriniate more often, thus losing the above vitamins including C and calcium. The effects depends on dosages, and of course, your individual body. If you must have coffee, have it with milk (my personal suggestion, only because I can’t drink black coffee or espresso.)

    Ok, I see, a very good explanation. And then again, if you broaden it; you may lose protein and other stuff you absorb when training if you have drunk coffee ( a lot )by urinating it out of your system.

    I think Jack is cool, and all that back in 1951. Great stuff, indeed.
