Raw Foodist Bernando LaPallo Celebrates 109th Birthday.
MESA, Ariz. - On August 17, Bernando LaPallo turned 109 years old! This Mesa resident lives on his own, still drives and walks around just fine - it's incredible. He shares his secret in this interview.
Bernando eats primarily raw fruits, veggies and fish. Meat is a treat only once a year.
"This is my lifesaver, it keeps me alive..superfood..plus I take it everyday since 1979 - I never miss." said LaPallo.
He believes his clean lifestyle is why he's still alive.
"Well, I don't think I know that eating it's what you eat, you've heard people say you are what you eat, well you are."
Bernando reads daily, walks a mile and a half as soon as he gets up and his favorite product to use on his skin is olive oil.
Extra virgin olive oil is an age old secret he's practiced for years.
His faith is his foundation and his father his role model.
At 109, he's a popular man. He consults people who are trying to change their life for the better and makes speeches around the country. He's written one book, Age Less and Live More
and is working on a second. His phone never stops ringing."I get calls from all over..Miami, Italy..I'm on TV in South America."
I asked him if he thinks about his final days.
"I never gave dying any though. I still don't. I know I've got to die. Everybody dies." said Bernando.
So what's next for a man who's lived over a century?
He wants to open a restaurant here in the valley with raw foods on one side and healthy American food on the other. But on his birthday, he's going to take a break from his busy days and celebrate another year of life.

In 1906, at the tender age of five, Bernando LaPallo began to learn the secrets of long life and optimum health from his father, a Brazilian-born doctor and herbalist. He was patiently taught the importance of proper nutrition, the wisdom of movement and exercise, and the profound value of faith. It was the start of a remarkable journey- a life that has spanned 109 years without disease or any of the other afflictions so prevalent in today's aging population.
After passing along his father's wisdom to his children and grandchildren, with the same amazing results, Bernando decided that it is time to share his formula for health and longevity with the world; this book is a result of that desire.

Happy Birthday to you Bernando!
