What inspires you to stay fit? Olympics athletes currently? How about this 97-year-old Nanammal who does yoga every day? She looks exactly like your grandmother, with white hair and wrinkles all over her body. But what sets her apart? She can bend it better than Beckham.
At an age where people find it difficult to move, Nanammal practises yoga every day. She's mastered yoga and can do difficult asanas such as halasana with ease and better than a 20-year-old. She says that she's never ever been hospitalised has never taken any kind of medicine. And it's not just yoga she practises. She follows a strict diet too.
When most of us eat cereals and processed foods such as oats and have forgotten the benefits of traditional breakfast items, Nanammal begins her day with a glass of rice kanji. One of the most important health benefits of rice kanji is that it is an excellent source of energy. I guess that's what keeps her fit and energetic all throughout the day. Her lunch is very simple too--green vegetables and rice. Her dinner is just fruits and milk.
Nanammal is an excellent example of how to live simple and live longer. She's an inspiration to all those who feel too lazy to exercise and eat unhealthy.
