My thoughts on Betty White


Miss Betty White... What a freaking legendary icon who seemed like she would live forever. How could you not love her?!?


So how do you live to 100 or almost there. What did she do? Well, I'll tell you what, right before she died she said she avoided anything green. She liked hot dogs and vodka. She was not what most would say was the epitome of health. I mean, there were articles out a few months ago about a study done saying that every hot dog you eat takes 36 minutes off your life. So, how did she make it so long then?!?!


Well, because what you eat is not the number one factor in how long we live. We put so much importance on nutrition and weight being the most important factor in being healthy, but if you want to live old, there are so many other things that are important. And look I'm a health coach.... I do believe eating greens and plants are important, but there is more to it.


Betty White was a pillar of positivity. She has said that she grew up that way. She finds the positive in every situation. She was a woman of service. She helped animals. She kept working in what she loved. She kept her brain going. And she had fun in life! She was actually the epitome of health and longevity!


Here is a list of how centenarians (people who live to 100 and beyond) stay healthy:

  • Move their bodies

  • Love more

  • Eat slow

  • Eat pure

  • Laugh

  • Pray

  • Stay flexible

  • Enjoy music

  • Keep their brains active

  • Go slow

  • Have fun

  • Sleep well

  • Stay positive

  • Work

  • Serve others

Remember, you don't have to listen to everything about losing weight. That is diet culture trying to get you. To live a long, healthy life work on your mind and the other factors of health. It will get you far too!


Stay positive out there!


Thank you Betty White for the lessons!!



Let's have some fun!
