Memorable Quotes:

"I look for what's the commonality, instead of trying to divide, what's the commonality in all of these diets that generally support health? And so generally, all these diets, whether it's paleo, whether it's Mediterranean, or whatever it is, support the intake of fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds in their whole form." – Betty Murray

 

"One of the greatest risks for all-cause mortality and early mortality, and particularly mortality after a fracture, is the lack of muscle mass. Not just bone mass, but muscle mass. So, if we were to look at one of the most important longevity strategies a woman can do, muscle mass is important." – Betty Murray
