When I was in practice in medicine, I would tell the patients that the vegetable based diet was the healthy way to go, and to keep away from the animal products as much as possible. People are very sensitive about what they eat. You can talk to people about exercising  relaxation, good mental attitude and they will accept that. But you talk to them about what they are eating and people are very sensitive about that. If an individual is willing to listen, I will try to explain to them on a scientific basis of how I think it’s better for them.” – Dr. Ellsworth Wareham

About Dr Wareham:

Ellsworth Wareham is a centenarian from Loma Linda, California, United States of America. Wareham retired as a cardiothoracic surgeon at the age of 74 but continued to associate himself with training residents at the Loma Linda University until the age of 95 during which time he drove 60 miles to assist in operations. Wareham was amongst the earliest practitioners of open heart surgery, soon after the first such procedure was performed. He is described as being able to move around his multi-storied house, walk without a cane, and maintain his garden. Wareham considers himself to have adequate mental facilities. All this Wareham attributes to having adopted a vegan diet about fifty years ago. Loma Linda has strict controls on the sale of alcohol, has a ban on smoking, and its largest supermarket doesn’t sell meat.
