Jane Goodall Favors Good Diet, Staying Active To Plastic Surgery

Jane Goodall, primatologist, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and a magnificent leader for humanity is well into her 70s, but age hasn’t slowed her down much since she first stepped foot on Lake Tanganyika, in what is now Tanzania’s Gombe National Park.
During a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Goodall gave her secrets to longevity and energy.
“I have to say that I attribute vast amounts of my energy to the fact that I stopped eating meat,” Goodall said.
“One thing I learned is that we have the guts not of a carnivore, but of an herbivore. Herbivore guts are very long because they have to get the last bit of nutrition out of leaves and things. The carnivore guts are very short, because they want to get rid of the meat quickly before it starts putrefying and doing bad things inside them.”
Goodall is younger than ever at heart and although she’s quite the celebrity, she has no time for any “nip and tuck” and thinks women who are worried about aging should focus on keeping active, both physically and mentally.
“I mean, yes, you can have millions of face lifts and all these different things that women have done to their bodies – whatever they’re called, bum tucks and boob enhancements [laughs] – but personally, well: A) I haven’t the money for that, and B) I haven’t got the time for it and C) I mean, there are more important things to me than how you look.”
Ladies, if one of the most famous animal scientists in the world discusses bum tucks and boob enhancements, you’d better heed that advice!
