| Ron Paul, Rand Paul 1960's |
Republican presidential candidate, Congressman Ron Paul is 76 years of age but he is full of energy and keeps up with competitors younger than him. During one of the presidential debates in January, Dr Paul emphasized his good health by stating that he does not mind showing his health records because it is hardly a half page long. In addition, Dr, Paul challenged other presidential candidate for a 25 mile bike ride in boiling hot weather.
Ron Paul is a physician by training. As a physician he has
delivered more than 4, 000 babies. Apparently, Dr. Paul was even offered a track
scholarship by a major University and he has played baseball at the college level. People will be surprised to know that Dr. Ron Paul is the only member of congress, dead or alive, to have hit a home run over the fence in the annual congressional baseball game’s 50-year history. The home run was hit during a game in the 1980s.

Dr. Paul says his ability to stay healthy is due to plain
common sense things and he did not learn this in the medical school. He stays fit
and healthy by riding bike, walking a few miles every day and common sense habits
of eating and living.
During a CNN interview with Piers Morgan, when asked where
does he get all this energy from, this is what Ron Paul had to say:
“There's a lot of things. Mental health is important…For 30, 40 years, as long as I can remember, I have had a strict regime. It involves a lot of exercise and also eating habits are very important. When I have time, I would get up in the morning and I want to get outside. I'm sort of -- outside gives me relaxation. So, I don't want to ride an exercycle inside. I ride a bike and I walk. But in the morning, I like to walk between three and four miles. It takes me about an hour or so to do that, and that sort of clears my head, and loosens me up.
And good health habits, I think, can prevent usage of a lot of medications. So I strive for that. And fortunately, but I think my parents may have had a little bit to do with good health. They lived in old age.
Not overly strict. I'm not fanatic. But I do watch the white things -- white sugars and -- although I do eat meat. I think fish is better. But it's not overly radical, you know? But I think fresh vegetables are good. Most of it's probably more common sense than anything I learned in medical school.’
So, in a nutshell, this is the SECRET:
“MOST OF IT’s probably more COMMON SENSE than anything I
learned in medical school.”

and healthy now in his 80s.
