Mimi Kirk is a woman who certainly defies her age.

She credits her youthfulness to her almost entirely raw vegan diet.

Well, actually, let me quote her directly from her website, youngonrawfood.com:

"Feeling like you're in your 20's at age 75, is quite an amazing thing... I accredit this youthful look and spirit not only to my attitude, but really to my way of eating which is a raw vegan - plant based lifestyle.

Thank you for letting me share some of my joy with you.

This story reminded me of another awe-inspiring woman.

Her name is Ernestine Shepherd, and she was the Guinness World Record oldest body-builder at age 75 back in 2010.
