Mimi Kirk on Fox 5 Morning News

[@ub52209]

I have had to work all my life and still work to this day with my own business and writing books. I have had to reinvent myself over and over again since my husband was killed in a plane crash and left me and our 4 children with no money when I was 29. There has been plenty of stress but a good attitude has gotten me through. See my book for all my careers.

[@ub52209]

Have you ever saw someone you knew and said to yourself that they look a lot older and found out that they had health issues? Losing 20+ lbs and staying healthy has made me look younger or at the very least maintained my age look. It hasn't hurt that I have ate healthy all my life, bu raw took me to another level.

[@dianerandall1239]

You are an inspiration!! I am 70 this year and it is a bit scarey as I have so many more things I want to achieve...I still work and love it..You look so vibrant..

[@ub52209]

70 is just a number! I'm 75 this year and am now going to chef school! Please check out my book, website and my facebook for recipes and tips. The book is LIVE RAW.

[@jackcooper8098]

You are 80 years old and you look even sexier! :)

[@ub52209]

a healthy diet that has been nearly all raw for the last 5 years. I had some health concerns that were reversed when I became raw.

[@tripphouse3534]

“I think doctors bills are more expensive” I love that quote!

[@ub52209]

if its good gene's how come every member of the rest of my family have serious health problems?

[@ub52209]

Thank you! My best to you!

[@MyBatcat]

OMG, this woman is 71 years old. How inspiring!

[@zlittledevil87]

Attitude is everything! :) We are the ones that let stress take over our lives. I remember watching this video a couple years ago when i first became a vegetarian and it gave me strength. Thank-you for being such a great role model Mimi, and for being an inspiration for the change many people take to diet and health. I'll be buying your book for my g.f this Christmas, which will give me an opportunity to read it once she's done. Wishing you the best! :)

[@greentantra]

Mimi -- thank you for being such an incredible inspiration!

[@zest4life7777]

Wow! This woman looks Amazing!!! So gorgeous!

[@bambidimize]

I'm already a vetertarian but im more inspire to eat more raw food now thanks mimi kerk your amazing

[@RodeaDrive]

I can see why she looks and feels so good! I'm an Ironman athlete and used to be a big meat eater. But after switching to a vegan diet, I started to feel so much better and perform better! Carl Lewis even said that his best performance as an olympic athlete came after switching to a vegan diet! I'll never eat another piece of meat, fish, chicken etc. again!

[@gfitz6001]

Andrea Kladar : human beings should not eat cadaver. 💀

[@xeniakennedy]

way to go, Mimi looks way better than most celebs who HAVE had work Mimi is a true role model

[@2tschmidt2]

This video really speaks to the raw lifestyle. You must be inspirational to a lot of people who are willing to listen and take action to help themselves, while helping the planet.

[@JamesCarmichael]

Shes smiles a lot and seems very pleasant to be around.

[@ub52209]

thank you!

[@EREWHON3]

It is definitely her diet that keeps her so healthy. A good role model for EVERYONE!

[@rebeccaspratling2865]

I hope to look as good as Mimi does at her age OMFG! AMAZING!

[@raw-vitalize5494]

Rebecca Spratling thank you!

[@whatawonderfulful]

thank you very much

[@donaldagoncalves]

Holy crap. She looks 15 - 20 years younger.

[@bellydancebydana9784]

Such an inspiration ❤️

[@ub52209]

Thank you!

[@keeraashton8417]

Omg she's amazing at 71 I've got similar style to mimi Kirk so I'm very happy to resemble her at 71 💕

[@jmontana4167]

Amazing!

[@pugmom6]

You go girl!!!

[@inesison]

She looks great

[@lililaz11]

U are my inspiration !!!!

[@bassthunder]

I saw Forks Over Knives on 7/19/11 and from that day I made an honest effort to eat only plants and avoid oils. I dropped from 255lbs to 185 lbs and it was easy, yes EASY, TO DROP THOSE 70 LBS! I am feeling great and now have a long list of at least 6 friends who have dropped more than 30 lbs following my example. From jeans that were 38" and 40" I now fit in 34" jeans. From what the study in the movie suggested, keep the percentage of animal protein in your diet under 5% and you're alright.

[@ShellySummers]

holy cow 71!!

[@M39157]

Have you seen the one about the spaghetti plantation - spaghetti is harvested from the land didn't you know -

[@Loubell2]

one word...WOW!

[@keeraashton8417]

Happy Birthday 🎉 💕

[@ub52209]

Thank you!

[@dcosmos2000]

Raw baby raw!

[@cleanslatemed]

She looks amazing! She looks like most women do in their late 40s/early 50s.

[@ghauptli1]

She does look great. But look at her flashing smile! Older people need to know that good dental care and brighter teeth and frequent smiling takes years off of a face. She looks healthy for a vegan. Sorry, I have seen far too many vegans who look awful, likely due to lack of needed vitamins like B-12, and the mineral iron. If you are vegan or vegetarian make sure your iron level is mid-range. Iron deficieny/anemia REALLY ages your face (been there before)

[@Peter78730]

@Marieclean Marie, the word is "you're" not "your".

[@Cerebrox29]

Magnificent!!!!!!!!

[@rebornraw]

Just for the record , Ms Mimi did an interview and she is a mother of 4 and a grandmother of 6-7 grandkids.

[@trevfrank]

A LOW FAT RAW VEGAN LIFESTYLE IS THE KEY TO A LONG HEALTHY LIFE

[@AshleyReinaFit]

there is nothing better than a healthy vegan diet :)

[@lastplacewin]

Look what happens when you don't eat meat! This is a prime example of why people should leave meat off their plates forever!

[@corevocalpower]

@ub52209 aaaah! that's the secret - the "raw" part. Most people don't even understand what "raw" means, let alone "vegan." 3 months ago I did not, but now I truly can say I have experienced the life force from the raw foods I eat and my overall health is much better. Hopefully Mimi will do more to promote "raw vegan" vs. "vegetarian" lifestyle, cuz that's why she looks so FABULOUS!

[@zlittledevil87]

I am curious what you have done for work and as a carrer? I feel that stress has something to do with ageing. :)

[@ravynwolfe]

Wonder how much work she's had done.

[@liiiidia]

having a healthy raw diet for the last 5 years wouldn't make you look younger all of the sudden. Have you ever had weight issues in your life and how was your diet in the last 30 years? Thanks for your response

[@whatawonderfulful]

you're an awesome dude bassthunder. i mean it.

[@speakerstereo]

oh yea i'm making an effort to include more raw vegetables in my diet

[@jimcross3963]

you might want to get your eyes checked

[@GTDMX0]

researchers actually say the opposite, pls post the source of this information so i can educate you

[@drmarrese101]

Wow I thought my dad looked good at 138, but she wins hands down baby...

[@Mediumchild]

@ub52209 so what does she eat, just fruits?

[@Nowandbeyondpod]

you guys haven't seen the one in Miami DaDE....SHE IS 70 and looks 20 something. She is also a vegetarian. ...my goodness....we have to eat vegetables.

[@cmcc1234567890]

well mimi it worked you look great i personally couldn't do it because i found slugs and spiders in my lettuce before which turned me off salads

[@seeker4wisdom]

Wow, she is absolutely beautiful! Besides diet, a lot of it has to do with managing stress, too. Stress is one of the biggest contributors to disease.

[@vancouverrite]

You're beautiful!

[@RockTheOcean4me]

And here is the bikini round... :-D

[@frankwolftown]

This will be the norm in more 1st world countries. Better standard of living and healthier diets will bring more sexy seniors.

[@lolipopPrincess]

What do I say to my mom who has a diet coke addiction and when confronted she says the preservatives in it will help her "stay young".. 😐

[@ub52209]

lolipopPrincess there are plenty of articles out there that of course say just the opposite...google it and show it to her. No one even tries to say that the preservatives keep you young...not even coke

[@tasha777]

work it mimi work it : )

[@jimmydoonz]

whats her secret?

[@realinohio]

Young boyfriend? She's a cougar I am almost his age and she is my Mom's age Scary! but she is doing the right thing with her nutrition

[@colwilpro]

@ravynwolfe She said none.

[@sweetesthangover2009]

Damn.. she looks a lot like Chelsea from Chelsea Lately to me.

[@josefinamasinas6471]

hi I like you your so wonderful women and the world

[@anity7]

although diet is very important for our health, i think this has more to do with genes rather than a lifestyle. has she been a vegan from the 1st day of her life?

[@mishdresses]

@ub52209 she's 71 :) &( I agree, Food Inc. is a must see)

[@corevocalpower]

Is she a raw vegan or just a vegan?

[@Wakeupgrandowl]

@hatimjm1 Annette Larkin? :)

[@goodvibrations6]

@ub52209 2:51 - I've probably been a VEGETARIAN on and off for about 40 years... vegan lifestyle, mostly life foods last year and half

[@xenophile84]

@alka1ine Actually, her teeth aren't white enough or 'perfect' enough to be dentures. To me they look like well-maintained real teeth.

[@HeckoX]

I'm not taking anything as a personal judgement, I just don't see why you lump all meat-eaters (regardless of how little amount or what types of meat they eat) together with excessive drinkers and excessive smokers; the leap from A to B just doesn't make sense to me. For instance, how does eating lean meat or fish once a week logically equate to smoking 2-4 packs of cigarettes and downing a bottle of Jack per day (what I would define as excessive)?

[@ub52209]

:)

[@AndrewVSmith10]

@nataliemarkova1 Indeed!

[@Guesticle]

Earthlings is more intense than Food, Inc.. Anyone interested in veganism should look into the 80/10/10 diet.

[@goodvibrations6]

@ub52209 what? :) i didnt say it. she did :)

[@trophey2scr]

she should go on betty's white off their rockers

[@Mediumchild]

@ub52209 thanks =)

[@jimmydoonz]

so eating meat is also a life style?

[@HolmfridurGests]

Ótrúleg!

[@cmcc1234567890]

thats just good gene's

[@mrbently1]

Yea I'll still hit that XD

[@ToolsnFire]

@hatimjm1 I guessed sixty years of age for her. "20 something" my ass, my mom, who is 68 looks younger than this woman, which of course she is. And my mom eats the standard world wide human diet that's been done for thousands of years: cooked food, omnivorism, fruits, vegetables, animal products/meat/eggs/milk, starches. The basics, in moderation, with 'nice' lifestyle.

[@alka1ine]

@ghauptli1 I agree that smiling and attitude takes years off a face, but if you look closely it's clear she uses dentures or something. Also, in the 1 video I found on youtube that was more than 240p, you could clearly tell she looked 70 if you took away the dyed hair. She looks young to us because she doesn't have a grandma haircut, she dyes her hair, and she has a younger personality than people her age.

[@vitus1147]

She does look 71 and she has a good hair dresser.

[@thebrideoffrankenstein2415]

You are obviously blind and an asshole

[@whatawonderfulful]

I find it odd you took my decision to do something in my life as a personal judgement. If anything it is a conclusion about meat and not a judgement on any person. Either way, your argument is a bit off, the truth is you are better off health wise without meat, you are not better off health wise without banana ergo meat is not good for you. That is why I made this decision in my life, based on this fact.

[@anity7]

@ub52209 Thanks for the answer! I do agree that quality is better than quantity. But i think no one can have the firm assurance that her good appearance or health are all due to the vegan lifestyle. We can live a healthy life or have healthy diet even if we eat meat- the way it is cooked and the times per week we eat it are important. Our bodies are so unique that everyone has his/her own unique way to achieve a good condition. In general i keep in mind that things are in Someone else's hands.;)

[@HeckoX]

Consuming meat is not the same as killing yourself, even in the metaphorical sense. Like with most other things, meat is only bad in excess. Bananas (and certain other fruits and veggies) too are bad for your health when eaten in excess. I'm not trying to imply that you're 'wrong' for not eating meat, I'm just saying that as long as the diet is balanced, there isn't anything wrong with eating meat, so you shouldn't judge meat-eaters in the same comment that you ask not to be judged yourself :/

[@svahas]

you do not look that good
