We posted about Dr. Ellsworth Wareham two years ago, just before his 100th birthday – here<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

<\/span>Dr. Wareham\u00a0had his\u00a0102nd birthday\u00a0a few days ago!<\/span><\/h4>\n

Dr. Ellsworth Wareham<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/span>~ As a middle-aged man, Wareham spent a lot of time in the operating room cutting into one patient after another who had heart problems. There, he noticed something: patients who were vegetarian mostly had much cleaner and smoother arteries than those who ate meat. The arteries of meat-eaters tended to be full of calcium and plaque.<\/span><\/h4>\n

So he made a choice. He decided to become a vegan. That decision was not too hard to make given the fact that many of the inhabitants of his southern Californian community were already very health conscious. Consider: there is no meat sold at one of the largest grocery stores in town. In fact, as recently as a generation ago, meat was difficult to find in the grocery stores of Loma Linda, as the New York Times reports. On top of that, smoking is banned in the town; alcohol is scarcely available; and fast food restaurants are hard to come by. ~ \u2013 Source<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

~ Dr. Wareham attributes his health at least partly to the fact that he has been a vegan for the last 30 or 40 years (he does not remember precisely). ~ \u2013 Source<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

<\/span>See this video from when he had just completed 100 years –<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Amazing Heart Surgeon<\/a>Amazing! This inspiring heart surgeon celebrated his 102nd birthday yesterday!<\/h4>\n

<\/span>Vegan for 50 years, Dr. Ellsworth Wareham is a shining example for healthy living.<\/span><\/h4>\n
