Two great Ladies that radiate Health and Energy in a very beautifull and super inspiring way – it truly seems to be a very Healthy diet and so important now both for Health and for the climare 🎶💚🎵🌷
I am enjoying this interview, I love to see older people sharing their life skills with younger generations. I come from a family that live to be 100 or more and remain healthy right up to the end. Just think how long they could live a vibrant healthy life if they went plant based. I guess I will be the first one to try this experiment. I am 67 and have been plant based for 5 yrs, maybe I should get her book for my siblings.
Thank you Chef AJ for addressing my question with Vesanto Melina, and thank you so much Vesanto for answering so eloquently. Very much appreciated. Have a beautiful day. Colette🙂

Vesanto seems like a lovely woman! I love how she smiles when she talks. Obviously, she's passionate about this topic. Great interview! 😊
AJ..pink and red IS your color! Beautiful!
Great show, AJ!
I really appreciate watching interviews with people 80+ years of age.
I enjoy observing the vitality of older people.
It gives me an idea of how my personality may function when I (hopefully) reach their ages.
Excellent. I'm vegan and I'm sharing and tweeting for others to get the truth
Commercially, falafel, and even tofu is often deep fried, say at the airport. So I take my own. I have only been questioned once when I made some Ezekiel bread vegi sandwiches. Depends on the agent. Give it a try, tho. One great flat bread/wrap is red lentil wrap. It's just red lentils and water. Many recipes on line.
5/29/2023 – at 81, I have no problem with beans or any other food.
Veganism is a belief system. We are talking about eating whole plants as a choice for good health. I am 84 and in good shape. I eat like an elephant… all plants… lol. I stopped eating animal products in the early 80s. Dabbled in some dairy over the years, but got sick every time I did, so went back to 100% plant based and now am maintaining about 80 lbs below my high weight and am pretty healthy. I take a little thyroid, and have a pace maker as my heart rate got quite slow as I aged. Quite common. Glad to hear from another lady of the 80s. Thanks AJ, for all these great guests.
For me, having switched to the Esselstyn "diet" a month ago, the hardest part is to do as Vesanto Melina suggests – stop eating when 80% full. I'm going to have to tie something around my finger to remind me because, when I'm hungry, I just eat till my stomach says stop. It's hard to reprogram to stop at 80% full marker.
Always love listening to Vesanto Melina. I have all her books, but I always learn something new when I listen to her. Can't wait to listen to Brenda Davis as well as meet her son Cory.
A great guest, someone who shows at 81 that they are thriving not just existing like most people do. Also for busting those myths about eating whole food plant-based food. It’s great too that you bring up the point that you have issues with beans which to me are a staple of my diet. Not everybody is the same. your perspective is always so valuable.💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
