MESA, Arizona – Good old father’s advice and simple foods are credited with helping a Valley man reach a milestone birthday. “Eat properly and get your rest,” recommends Bernando LaPallo. Words to live by considering the Mesa resident was born in Brazil in 1901 and has lived to be 110 years old. “They had no automobiles, no airplanes I saw them all come about,” remembered LaPallo.
LaPallo claims he’s never been sick a day in his life. He walks every morning and eats mostly organic fruits and veggies. “People ask me what do you do to stay so young,” LaPallo explained. “I say, ‘Well you’ve heard the old saying, you are what you eat.'” So what’s LaPallo’s secret? Five foods: garlic, honey, cinnamon, chocolate and olive oil. “Use olive oil on your skin,” LaPallo said. “Rub your feet rub your arms you’ll never rust.” Healthy habits LaPallo picked up from his father, a doctor, who lived to be 98.
