It seems like everywhere you turn right now, someone is touting the magic recipe for living longer or finding the fountain of youth — superfoods, turbo-charged supplements, full-body screening tests, scientific workouts, self-fulfillment workshops, high-tech
cosmetic creams. The list is endless.

But when it comes to healthy aging, more and more experts are advising a back-to-basics approach of a good diet, regular exercise and everything else in moderation.

That’s why we wanted to introduce you to some Idahoans who are working not just to live longer, but to live balanced lives. From teenage cross-country runner Eric Fitzpatrick to Idaho first lady Lori Otter to 100-year-old Boisean Vic Whetzel, these folks are committed to making the most of every day in an active, healthy way.
