Everywhere we look we’re shown adverts, motivational quotes, signs, books and more that encourage us to live a healthy lifestyle. This means eating well, getting enough sleep, drinking plenty of water, exercising, and engaging in things that keep our brains active. And while some of these words of encouragement are just a marketing ploy, other times they come from someone or a group of people that sincerely care about your wellbeing.
Whatever the reason, many people often disregard just how important staying healthy and active is because it’s easy to ignore. But if you take a look at the video below, you’ll see what a huge difference living healthily actually makes. That is, because the man in the video has just turned 100 years old and he is as fit as a fiddle. In fact, he even shows off his dance moves.
Grandpa Gus has been in the news of late due to his lively spirit and young heart. Despite being 100—he is still at it, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, and even having a dance or two. His main reason for being so active in the community? He simply loves interacting with people.
In the short but sweet video, you see Grandpa Gus chatting, laughing, and getting on with his daily chores. He is fond of gardening because he calls the tools his “toys” and enjoys cracking jokes with his family and friends.
If this isn’t enough inspiration to eat your fruit and vegetables, drink water, and exercise—I don’t know what is! This man is clearly doing something right!
