My dog Sophie is 10 years old going on 4. Even though she's petite for her breed, she still acts like a puppy and everyone that meets her is shocked to learn her age. I contribute a good portion of her health and physique to her diet. She gets the best food and supplements money (or my tab) can buy, filled with an organic raw food diet with added fresh fruits and vegetables, fish oil capsules and two nutrient supplements. Plus, she gets daily exercise and playtime with her buddy Wilson - a 2 year old Australian Cattle Dog that is 52 lbs of solid muscle but she can still body slam the hell out of him and say "giddy-up" to go back for more.
My goal for 2011 is get back that same level of energy and stamina. When I have a healthy diet, I feel great which makes me look great. It's definitely a lifestyle choice that needs to become a habit again.
So with that said, I'm going back to my roots as a human being and diving into a diet of whole foods both cooked and raw - what nature intended. I'm at a point in my life where change needs to happen so later in in life I'll be 70, going on 28.
Have you looked at Mark's Daily Apple? http://www.marksdailyapple.com/ He's all about eating primal, which is very popular nowadays, but it makes sense.
