'In today’s video you will be joining me with two of my favorite pastimes: Working out (the last ten minutes of it) and cooking & eating in the kitchen. At the youthful age of 70, exercise is just as essential to my well being as eating a healthy diet. It really goes hand in hand and I do believe exercise and eating a plant based diet are the reasons why I can still do the things that I could do when I was in my twenties and thirties. Exercise is essential in having a strong body, no matter what your age, and it becomes even more important when going through the life transition of Menopause. Personally, I have found exercise to be an excellent way to manage my weight, have optimal heart health and most importantly strong muscles which have attributed to good bone health. That’s why I incorporate strength and resistance training into my daily workout routines. Additionally, feeding the body well is a “must.” I do this by incorporating a plant based diet as part of my ageless lifestyle. It’s been working great for me for the past three decades. Today’s menu consist of roasted beets with garlic, mixed salad with red cabbage, leafy greens and avocado, dressed in a home made salad dressing of lemon juice, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar and olive oil. Leftover curry rice, sautéed with shiitake mushrooms, onion and garlic and a side of black beans completes this plant based meal. I love beets, I eat them roasted, put them in salads and juice them with celery and spinach. If this is your first time incorporating them into your diet do not be alarmed when your urine comes out a little red in color. It’s just the richness of this highly anti-oxidant vegetable that’s been kissing every cell of your body as it makes it’s way out
