He isn't just staying alive. He's livin' it up.
Meet yoga master Kazım Gürbüz. Although it may be nearly impossible to believe, he's 95 years old. Yes, people. You read that right.
Gürbüz still enjoys a highly active lifestyle and believes anyone can live to be 130 if they take care of their bodies the right way. I know, it's easy to laugh at and say "this is just some more internet." But let me assure you, this man is the real deal.
In an interview with the Daily Hurriyet, the Turkish health fanatic says the secrets to his unbelievable health are keeping his body flexible and eating superfoods such as olives and chestnut honey.
He also prescribes foods like pinto beans, peppers, herbal tea, and soup. “Less beneficial is meat, [which causes] most damage. There is protein in all [pulses], you do not necessarily need to eat meat."
To make Gürbüz's story even more incredible, when he was 41 he broke his back. Doctors told him that he was permanently paralyzed and would never walk again.
But Gürbüz had other plans. After realizing he had nothing to lose, he convinced friends to crack his vertebra back into place.
“I conducted 63 different experiments on myself… I was born again. Nine months [after the experiment] I began to walk. ‘Miracle!’†they said.
The proficient yogi states that yoga was also a big component of his healing. Even still, he's able to perform the ‘knot position’ for up to 48 hours.
For Gürbüz, life isn't just far from over...
In many ways, it's still just beginning.
“We can live to be 130 years old. I have such an intention… everyone has the power.â€
Whether or not you believe it's possible, Gürbüz's aspirations and health are more than inspiring. I think it's safe to say any of us would be perfectly happy being in his shape at 65, much less 95!
