Jj. I'm so glad you're back.

[00:00:04]

It's good to be back, Mel.

[00:00:05]

We have so many questions from listeners around the world from your last appearance on the Mel Robbins podcast. You have been a fan favorite. Does that surprise you?

[00:00:15]

It does. Yes, it does.

[00:00:17]

Well, I think it's fantastic, and I'm not surprised, and here's why. It's one thing to hear the research and the strategies and the recommendations from a medical doctor or somebody who researches it. It's another thing to hear the secrets of an '87-87 in September. 87-year-old woman who is scaling mountains and jumping out of airplanes and wearing bikinis and exercising every day, having a glass of wine, laughing your way through life, and you just have this remarkable attitude. And so you are an expert in longevity with lived experience, and you're demonstrating something that people want. And so We got so many questions as a follow-up to our conversation about your secret to life. And where I want to go is just dive into some specific things about your daily to add. Tell me.With my smoothies, I always have at least four ginger snaps.Who?Ginger snaps. Like cookies? Yeah.Okay, this is not a health episode. Every Why?Nabisco Ginger Snaps.What?My brother is the same way. Every morning, he has a metric smoothie, and we are addicted to Ginger Snaps. I don't know where it started, obviously, in our youth.What? Four?Well, sometimes more.Oh, my God. You're so funny. See, this is why you enjoy your life.Well, yeah. I mean, why not?That's true. That's true. Because we get into these zones, I think, especially when your grandkids age. And then I think about myself, and I'm in my 50s, and Sawyer's in her mid-20s, and we're always like, on to the next exercise, and doing the fast, and doing this thing. And You've always just enjoyed yourself. I think that's a really important thing, since I've known you, at least in terms of you're never on some weird ass diet or restricting yourself in any way. At least it doesn't seem like it.Well, I get these guilt things because you guys all do these restrictions. Christopher does 75 hard or you're going to give up. And I said to Christopher, Maybe I should stop drinking. And Christopher says, At 86, I wouldn't stop drinking. Okay, guess what? I won't.I've already chilled the wine for tonight, Jude. What do you have for dinner?I usually have chicken or fish. Okay. I'm not much of a meat eater. How come?Give you gas?No. I just more and more when I wasn't eating meat, I started to think about the animals, I guess. And if I go to your house for dinner and you serve meat, I will eat it. Right. But I won't order at a restaurant, and I prefer not to cook it. Every now and then, I will.What about dessert? What's your feelings on dessert?Well, I like cookies. So I'll have a cookie. You've established that. A different cookie, maybe. But Most of the time I don't eat much dessert. Got you.And you also don't eat a ton of food. So you know what I mean? But you eat healthy. In all fairness, when you get to be older, you're just not that hungry. Is that something that Yes.And I'm sure that the people that are listening to this have parents, and they'll notice that they're not eating like they used to. And it isn't because they're worried about their weight or anything. It's just you don't have that I mean, when John and I go out to dinner, we'll often split a main course rather than each have one because we realize that we don't finish it.Yeah. So other than eating four ginger snaps with your smoothie, do you have other health secrets? So we've covered that walking every single day is an absolute must. So is a yoga class or Pilates class a couple of times a week. What about water? How much water do you drink?Not enough. What?Judy is the anti-health expert. You want to live a long life? Drink a lot? Don't drink a lot of water. Start with coffee, skip breakfast, go for a walk, have some ginger snafs with your snooze.You know, the one thing I do do, I do have kombucha, apple cider vinegar, vinegar, and a fresh orange.Got you. Jj. I'm so glad you're back. You went skydiving for the first time at the age of 80. You got your first tattoo at 85. Now that you're 86, what is your exact workout and movement routine?Oh, well, I walk every day, four miles anyhow.
