The Health Boosting Properties of the Jack Lalanne Diet

By Paul Taylor

One of the fitness gurus of both the old and modern times is Jack Lalanne. He's going strong, even at the good old age of 93. Many people are envy of his fitness and lifestyle as he still remains physically and mentally fit. Many people have tried to copy his lifestyle and regimes but not quite reached the same success.

Jack Lalanne is someone whom has been concerned about his fitness for many years. He sticks to his regime of working out for two hours every morning. He consumes high doses of vitamins and eats a diet that contains high levels of enzymes and nutrients. He is particularly against white sugar and feels everybody should give this up. He has also given up chicken and red meats and consumes more soya protein.

Eggs account for most his daily intake of protein with some coming from fish. Fish is important as it is one of the best sources of high quality protein as well as essential fatty acids.

Jack found that he was addicted to junk food and sugar at a very early age, but soon decided to give them up. He turned his energy to health clubs and onto dieting from about the age of fifteen. He does not feel these all low carbohydrate diets are beneficial although he does recommend including natural grains, such as brown rice and whole wheat, in your diet.

Fresh vegetables are particularly advised as they contain high levels of vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron. He has advised to consume a minimum of ten raw pieces of fresh vegetables a day.

Sugar and calorie rich deserts should be avoided at all times. Indeed, Jack has not eaten any desert for at least seventy five years. In his diet he recommends replacing all junk foods with more healthy fresh foods and processed foods should be gradually replaced by more fish and raw vegetables. Fruit juices are much more healthier and should be drunk instead of colas or fizzy drinks.

Foods that contain high levels f fat and oil should be avoided as they are a common cause of obesity. Dairy products like butter and cheese are an example of this as they can lead to a build up of fatty tissue. Water is very healthy and it is advised to drink about six to seven glasses a day.

As a testimony to his almost super human fitness, Jack has broken many records. If you decide to follow any of his plans you would be taking a step to feeling much healthier. - 17269
