Knowing that at 70 I’m going to be running a 10K race in late October, I bought this book just before checking in to Rancho La Puerta in Mexico. I’m so inspired by the strength of Ida Keeling, now 105 and still running!

That was then, this is now. The first two photos on dating site, Plenty of Fish, led us to a first datelunch at Panera Bread 9 years ago today. Going on three years of whole food plant-based nutrition, the last two photos highlight the fact that we are aging powerfully. My book, a Aging Powerfully, tells the story. We LOVE our plant exclusive diet, and I share lots of recipes on my websitenansimonsen. Try some, and tell me what you think #agingpowerfullywithnan #wholefoodplantbasedrecipes #fiberfueled #veganfoods #agingbackward #plantbasedliving

Do you know what REALLY does a body good?! Leafy greens, luscious colorful vegetables and fruit, and no oil nutrient rich salad dressings. This is a simple salad of chopped apple, roasted butternut squash, sugar snap peas, black beans, chopped jicama, and purple sweet potato. The dressing is Chef AJ‘s house dressing, you can find it at nansimonsen.com. It is so flavorful that I drizzle it on all my salads and on roasted veggies. Why not treat your body to a big salad every day?

I have been asked, "Nan, what do you eat in a day?" My recent newsletter lists what I eat and has link to my recipes. Enjoy! https://mailchi.mp/ca/happy-valentines-day-from-nan-4970101
