Annette Larkins Amazes and Astounds With Her Glowing Beauty At Age 70
An ABC News Interview With Annette Larkins
Ageless Woman…
This news report is about a very special woman…
Annette Larkins was born in 1942. Here, you can see that today 70 years later, she remains a stunning beauty and exudes perfect, vibrant health and glowing vitality. People often mistake Annette’s husband as her father, even grandfather, and her twin sons as her brothers. Annette has been a raw food vegan for 27 years.
Annette grows her own organic garden and lives strictly on fresh, mostly raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
Annette’s husband is almost the same age as Annette. He eats a conventional diet including meat and dairy products and must take drugs for his health problems and suffers from a number of health issues. He wishes he had paid more attention to Annette’s diet and regrets not following her program. Now, 47 years later, he looks considerably older than Annette, to such a degree that a number of people have assumed that he is his wife’s grandfather.
As for any genetic component for Annette’s glowing, vibrant health, Annette is quick to mention that her mother, sister and grandmother all died at very early ages from breast cancer.
The question is often asked if diet is part of Annette’s “fountain of youth…”
According to Annette, it plays an extremely powerful part. Just looking at her tells it all – the fresh, ripe, natural foods do indeed help keep Annette fresh, healthy and beautiful and well.

Environmental Working Group’s (EWG.org’s) President, Ken Cook, has provided a short list of helpful links that offer the best options for making the healthiest and most affordable food choices in today’s ever-more confusing food landscape.
These are the links that he personally uses before shopping to help him decide between the grocery store or farmers’ markets, or what meats to buy, which fruits and vegetables he can trust are safest for him and his family.
EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce. Ken uses this list to check which fruits or vegetables are OK to buy conventionally grown or organically grown. However, IMPORTANTLY: Organic fruits and vegetables are grown on superior soils and are much less likely to have harmful pesticides, chemicals and toxins. Organic farmers are extremely scrupulous, diligent and must take many more precautionary measures.

The Label Decoder in EWG’s Meat Eater’s Guide to Climate Change + Health. EWG included this handy explainer on how to read labels on meat and dairy products. From free-range to lean to assist you in knowing what you’re buying.
Organic vs. Natural. What’s the difference between natural and organic anyway? Our friends at The Organic Center have published this handy tip sheet to help us out on that one.
EWG’s Sugar in Children’s Cereal Report. In researching this report, published in December, EWG.org discovered that many popular cereals have more sugar than Twinkies or chocolate chip cookies.

A beautiful, natural way of living… Living In Sync With the Land
Jo Dyantyi lives in South Africa on a completely natural permaculture food forest of his own creating. His philosophy is based upon sharing, giving, simple living. As he said, “I am not a capitalist, I am not a businessman. I only live here. This is where I live. This place makes me live here. For you go to work for somebody that you may not like or may not have a beautiful relationship with… I would want to do something that fulfills your heart and your spirit… my spirit, in that way, yes, my spirit is strong.”
A Passionate Presentation Into the Delights of Sweet, Succulent Fruit
Arnold of Arnold’s Way performs a beautiful musical and poetry rendition to Harley Blackstone’s videography of fruit.
If there ever was love at first bite, it would have to be with fresh, succulent, sweet ripe fruit. It’s as if Nature devised a perfect food to beguile us with perfect color, taste and texture.
Isn’t it interesting how many seeds of fruit are so easily swallowed whole, so durable as to be ejected with a warm pile of perfect fertilizer?
Fruit demand to be eaten. No, they CRAVE to be eaten. They beg us, beseech us, win us over with fragrance and lushness.
Is fruit healthy? Indeed it is. The fresh juice is packed with nourishment and provides the freshest, purest, most delicious thirst quenching fluid on Earth.
If you are fortunate enough to have a good supply of fresh, sweet, ripe-off-the-tree fruit, then you are fortunate, indeed.
The best? Organic, of course… the soil is specially and naturally cared for, pesticides are practically nil, soil nutrients, additions and fertilizers must meet particularly high standards for safety and naturalness.
Organic fruit is considered more delicious than conventionally, chemically grown fruits.
To save money, one can buy in bulk.
To many, a little organic fruit is equivalent to much more regularly grown fruit.
Eating fresh fruit is not the same as drinking sweet sodas or eating sweet pastries and processed, sugary foods. Fruit contains natural pectin and fibers that help regulate sugar absorption in the gut.
Jules Dervaes is an urban homesteader residing in Pasadena, California. His lush gardens, chickens, ducks and goats on less than 1/5th of an acre provide food for his family of 4. We can’t imagine anything better than growing your own, even within a major metropolis such as the Los Angeles basin and then eating it raw, fresh from the garden. Nicholas Reid & Joris Debeij have created one of the best videos we’ve seen illustrating the beauty, simplicity, animals and lifestyle of the Dervaes’ homestead.
Jules Dervaes Homesteading in Pasadena, California
Jules and family live a sustainable lifestyle right in the heart of suburbia. They make their own bio-gas, generate their own solar electricity while providing organic raw fruits and vegetables for the local community, restauranteurs and caterers. They have an extensive blog and website at http://urbanhomestead.org/.
The Dervaes use a bio-intensive no-till mulching raised bed method without chemical pesticides. They also grow on multi levels and in containers. Their bountiful and beautiful landscaping is also edible.
They believe in using the ancient practices of gardening, and offer teaching and training through their website.
Additionally, they are developing their skills and crafts along with the old style of simple living, when neighbors were neighborly, came calling and shared produce, animal husbandry,friendship, comraderie, kinship and knowledge.
We see this as a truly inspired and idyllic way of living in America – a return to old fashioned values when independence and self sufficiency were prized, respected and upheld.

Bernando LaPallo is one of the oldest, healthiest, happiest well known centegenarians in the world. He was born in August 17th, 1901. He has lived a mostly vegetarian lifestyle and swears by his beloved “Superfood,” and a diet that emphasizes raw fruits, raw vegetables, raw juices and moderation. In this video, Bernando is interviewed by Jerry Kramer, co-founder of the 120 Plus Club.
Bernando’s father told him if he lived a certain lifestyle, he would live a long life. “Health should be your first priority. Keep your colon clean.” “Eat properly, not a bunch of cooked, dead foods.”
“You can make 50 million dollars. You can’t see, you can’t walk, you can’t talk, what good is it? Take care of your body and it will take care of you.”
Bernando eats a very special diet of raw, fresh, natural, organic foods. Bernando also will eat a small amount of fish and eats other meat only once a year.
Bernando loves blueberries the most. Next cataloupe, cabbage, broccoli. He will eat nuts, seeds, “rabbity foods.” He seasons with his beloved garlic, honey, His father was a physician. He coformulated the Superfood Supplement with Dr. Schulze.
He has a large fruit salad in the morning with his superfood and cinnamon bark tea. He also eats after a mile to a mile and a half walk in the morning.
His keeps his skin smooth with extra virgin olive oil.
Bernando was a 5 Star Chef. He worked on liners for 37 years to 1957.
These days, his kitchen tools of choice are his blender and a juicer. Two thirds of his diet are broccoli, greens, collard greens, kale, spinach, cabbage and fresh fruit. He loves garlic.
On occasion, he eats soaked black beans and soaked rice, lightly cooked, – poor man’s meat. He soaks his beans and his barley overnight for his barley soup. He tells us that barley was the strengthening food of choice for the workers of the ancient Egyptian pyramids.
He claims his cinnamon tea helps keep his blood sugar under control.
He walks a mile or mile and a half every day. “It’s a regular thing.” He has a regular eating schedule. He is unhurried, unpushed, unfrazzled and comfortable with himself. His father told him, “Never be in an hurry.” “Everybody’s rushing… rushing to the cemetery. But they don’t want to die. Never overload your stomach. Always want a little more.”
