Running or training doesn't necessarily assure longevity, Sheehan said, but a healthy state of the entire body might. He stressed the mind and body should be one.

Play and sport were the main points he made as "the essential ingredients of fitness."

"I GO Italian," he explained. "I eat protein in the mornings, as they wake you up, and carbohydrates for dinner ? they bring you down."
