Hal Foster, 89
Lopez Island, Washington
In 1976, Hal was anything but healthy. His arteries were so clogged that he couldn’t walk around the block near his home without suffering chest-squeezing angina pain. His doctors told him he needed double coronary bypass surgery immediately, or he could try "this new diet-and-exercise program" being taught up in Santa Barbara by a man named Nathan Pritikin. Hal chose the latter. He’s never needed bypass surgery or angioplasty. And he’s never suffered a heart attack. In fact, last year cardiac testing showed that his coronary arteries had no blockages. None.
