No, Jack LaLane was not killed by that damn Juicer!
Long before jogging, aerobics, Jazzercise or Pilates the energetic phenomenon of Jack LaLanne caused many a house quake. Back in the days of black & white TV, the bundle of alien energy began exhorting the ladies to ‘put down the coffee and cigarettes and exercise!’ The man practiced what he preached as did his loving and very fit wife of 51 years Elaine.
LaLanne was famous for his series of fitness stunts, usually performed on his birthday. In 1955, he swam from Alcatraz to San Francisco, while wearing handcuffs. In 1991, for his 70th birthday he swam a mile while shackled to 70 boats carrying 70 people. In his 90s, LaLanne continued working out two hours each day, an hour in the gym, and an hour in the pool. He had not missed a day of workouts or had a sugary dessert since 1930 – which is a long time to eschew chocolate, but it worked, the 90-year old shared that he still had an active sex life, and said; "I just want to be living while I am living!" From all accounts, he did just that with no illness until recently when he passed away of pneumonia.
