"Remember this: your body is your slave; it works for you." - Jack LaLanne
There is no question that Jack was ahead of his time in the promotion of avoiding self destructive habits like smoking, healthy eating and exercise. Is he a bit of a fanatic? Yes; but Jack set an example for millions of fans and made an important impact on heath awareness in the United States.
My Grandmother who passed away at 97 free of illness was a big fan and followed a no meat Mediterranean diet and exercised regularly.
Jack was an avid supporter getting people to quit smoking at a time when his when his employer was running television adverts promoting smoking and cigarettes.
Jack's key message is that you are in charge. Your health is dependent on you being a master of your body and you need to make the right choices in leading a healthy life style.
His positive energy is contagious and an inspiration.
