A Diet to live by?
Sep 5th, 2006 by Moonage
That’s what doctors said about George Johnson this weekend. Now, that alone would lead you to believe you should avoid sausages and waffles. But, George Johnson was born on May 1, 1894. This guy was born the year the motion picture was patented. Jack Benny was born the same year as George, would live to be 80, and die 32 years before George did. The year George was born, Tsar Alexander III would die, his son would be the last tsar of Russia, leading to the Russian revolution, the birth of Communism, and throwing the world into some chaos that is still not resolved to this day, That would happen when George was 13. George predated the advent of the automobile, radio, television, motion pictures, space travel, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam Conflict, Iraqi Wars I and II, and, yes, even rock and roll.
This is what else they had to say:
“All of his organs were extremely youthful. They could have been the organs of someone who was 50 or 60, not 112. Clearly his genes had some secrets,” Coles said.
“Everything in his body that we looked at was clean as a whistle, except for his lungs with the pneumonia,” Coles said. “He had no heart disease, he had no cancer, no diabetes and no Alzheimer’s.
“This is a mysterious case that someone could be so healthy from a pathology point of view and that there is no obvious cause of death.”
All on mostly sausages and waffles. Someone needs to patent his genes and sell them. Sheez. Think about that the next time someone tells you to eat your peas.
