I read about this amazing woman a couple of years ago. A friend sent me the video link. I must say I was very impressed and want to be like her when I grow up!
You might think it has something to do with her genes. But if you listen to her story you will find out genes play very little part in why she looks so young. But, what is your take on her husband. You will get a shock, believe me. Watch to see what I mean.
27 years ago, Annette Larkins decided to become a raw vegan. She was already enjoying a vegetarian diet at the time, but decided to take it a step further. Her main motive was to improve and maintain her health. What she got in return surpassed her expectations and made her a star of the raw vegan community. Watch the video below to hear her full story:
Mrs. Larkins grows her own fruits and vegetables, and collects rain water for drinking and watering the plants. Her back garden is used as a food factory – she eats everything that grows there.
She lives on a diet of raw fruits and vegetables, seeds, nuts and juices. She does a lot of sprouting and makes her own wheatgrass juice, which is renowned for its health benefits. It might seem like a full time job, but it certainly pays off.
Annette looks amazing and when you look at her, you would think she is in her thirties. But in fact, she is a grandmother, has children who are in their fifties, and she’s seventy herself! This lady has discovered a fountain of youth, and it comes in the form of her healthy diet and life style. She doesn’t take any medication, not even an aspirin, and swears by natural medicines. Her husband, Amos Larkins, regrets not adopting the raw diet himself. His health is failing him, and people often think he’s out with his granddaughter when he walks around with his youthful wife.
What’s more, Annette’s genetic predisposition was not favorable at all. Her mother and grandmother both died of breast cancer at a young age (they were 47, and 36 years old, respectively). Her grandmother’s sisters died of cancer prematurely, too. Moreover, diabetes runs in her family. The argument that Annette must have had good genes does not apply. So that is why this proactive lady decided to take things into her own hands. She changed her life drastically and now she’s reaping the rewards.
