So why does what we eat matter?

Nobody gets excited about gray hair and wrinkles! Tracye and Mary McQuirter are living proof that the “Fountain of Youth” does exist and can be found right in your kitchen. The mother and daughter adopted a whole-food plant-based diet 30 years ago and it doesn’t look like they’ve aged a day since then. Clean eating and a regular dose of exercise are helping them keep Father Time at bay. Their new cookbook, The Ageless Vegan, is packed with 100 recipes promising to unlock “the secret to living a long and healthy plant-based life.” They highly recommend the pecan pie!
