No pills, not even aspirin, and certainly no supplements ever enter my mouth - everything I need comes from my fish and vegetarian diet, which incorporates many different kinds of fruit and vegetables every week.

We sell only fresh fruit and vegetables. I sell no saturated fats or anything like that.

Many of the people I work with that are half my age complain that they feel tired all the time. I tell them: 'Look at what you're eating, how much you are exercising, and how much sleep you are getting.'

I believe that proper eating will help all sorts of diseases. I can't say it will cure, but I can say it will materially help.

My day begins a little before 6 A.M. I never set an alarm clock.

Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and other varieties have anthocyanins that can help reverse some loss of balance and memory associated with aging.

I expend a lot of energy in my 50-60 minutes of cardio and strength training every day.

Exercising and eating properly will build your physical and mental strength to endure the stressful situation.

I think anyone who wants to live past 100 can do it.

Even though I am Chairman of Dole Food Company, I do most of my own grocery shopping.

There's all kind of things going on in the world that I don't like but I can't change. But at least I can say, 'Change the way you eat!'

I never have anything go wrong. Never have a backache. Never have a headache. Never have anything else.

It is never too late to change the way you eat - once you do, your body will thank you with a longer and healthier life.

Success isn't something you achieve by accident, but rather by design.

North Carolina was where you could have Thanksgiving and feel like it was Thanksgiving.

We take better care of the maintenance of our cars than we take care of the maintenance of our bodies.

My plant-based diet plus fish is to credit for my low blood pressure, high energy, and robust immunity.

We have developed a culture in which we eat with our taste buds, not our brains.

I drink coffee in the morning and a few cups throughout the day. Among coffee's health benefits are lower risk of Parkinson's, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and dementia.

If someone paid me a million dollars to drink a glass of milk, I wouldn't do it; maybe that's because I don't need the money.

Taking the company private was not the easiest thing I've done in my life.

Personally, I like to juice up several different kinds of fruit and vegetables - which may include various combinations of bananas, red bell peppers, apples, carrots, celery, broccoli, spinach, parsley, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.

I once in a while cheat and have a little ice cream, and then I kind of blame myself.

I try to eat as near perfect as possible, but once in a while I eat for my taste buds. For example, I occasionally like to treat myself to a small cup of chocolate frozen yogurt - plus toppings.

I'll match wits with anybody. I don't care if they have the top degree in the world.
