The fountain there was discovered to be the source of the town’s longevity, as low-protein diets based on the eating habits of the town’s elders are linked to low cancer and overall mortality rates in the US population.#2 I have lived the full range of good, bad, and excellent nutrition, which has helped me understand how people can live long, healthy lives. I grew up between two places that boast among the healthiest traditional diets in the world.#3 I was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1964. In 1984, at age 16, I moved to Chicago to join the Army Reserve. I was never obese, but I grew a lot while I was in Chicago. My height shot up to six feet two.#4 The Army diet was based on meat and carbohydrates, with sugary sodas allowed as a reward only if we had a combined run, push-up, and sit-up score of 200, which meant about seventy push-ups and sixty sit-ups in under two minutes each, plus running two miles in under ten and a half minutes.
