I\u2019m 90 years old.<\/p>\n<p>I wake up without an alarm. I make my own breakfast. I walk every day. I read without glasses. I don\u2019t take a handful of pills morning and night. No diabetes. No serious blood pressure issues. No constant complaints.<\/p>\n<p>People say, \u201cYou\u2019re lucky.\u201d Others credit genetics.<br \/>\nI always give the same answer: I learned to respect what I put on my plate.<\/p>\n<p>I never lived trying to fight disease.
