Ever wondered where the fountain of youth lies? The answer is simple - raw vegan foods.
Mimi Kirk is 76 years old, but she could easily pass for someone in her 40s.
The former star of the Mary Tyler Moore show started her journey towards veganism more than 40 years ago, and credits raw foods for her youthful looks.
"Years ago I didn't like to tell my age, but now I love it," Kirk says. "If it helps people see that we can be healthy as we age, and break some of the stereotype of aging, then I'm thrilled."
"I did feel a reversing of the aging process when I went raw."
At age 70, Mimi was voted America's sexiest vegetarian/vegan over the age of 50, and she feels proud to be part of the green revolution.
"When someone asks what is the one thing they can do to improve their health, I answer a green juice or smoothie," she tells VegKitchen.
"Once someone starts drinking them, they start to feel better and are more interested in trying more of a plant-based lifestyle."
