105 Year Old Woman Gives Secret To Long LIfe

Answers vary on that question, but some people are blessed with good metabolisms, and what they do in their life doesn't matter as much as it would for others. My mom's side of the family is like that. I think general positivity goes a long way too.

I wish I knew those tips of hers a long time ago.

I heard one 98 year old woman say a Dr. Pepper a day kept her young. I sure do admire people who make it to that age with a good attitude. I’ve also obviously followed her advice by not being married!

@marilynda Advice given on radio by an Australian lady who reached 100 was “Eat well, sleep well and sh!t well”.

Good for her and obviously it works!!

I think other than the common suggestions, genes play a role as well.

Bob used to say he planned to live to 100, because that was the combination of the ages of his dad and grandfather. I always figured I would make it. Some of these ideas fit me, others do not. I will not drink Guinness, though.

Long life should be to live and not just exist.

Good to know, but most if them for sure are good to their parents that's why they have the gift of long life.

I can agree with some of that list, but alot of it has to do with your family history of longevity. And part of it also has to do with your past health history. I had a bad concussion 6 years ago and my thought process has slowed greatly in the time since then. And I am not even close to being 105 years old. I would think that anyone that age would feel lonely, they would not have any peers their age. I remember my Pa told me that a couple of weeks before he passed away at the age of 95. He outlived his siblings, his in-laws, his wife, 2 of his own children, all of the farmers from his area, most of the new friends that he made after he moved into town, and the younger friends he made were starting to pass away. I remember thinking differently after that conversation. I remember the day that he fell and broke his hip, they said that his heart wasn't strong enough to withstand the surgery to repair it, and I cried and prayed that he be spared any more pain and that he would be taken soon. He was.

I like hers

A positive mindset goes a long way, according to me. Longevity with a healthy body and mind will be a blessing.

I like her sense of humor. Man, 105. Imagine that.

and what about a love life?

sounds like a good plan for a long life

You just made me laugh. That’s a good idea. I have to show your post to my husband.

I'm surprised I made it to 76. I'll bet she gets around better than I do. Have a good day.

I have felt that living beyond 100 is a combination of physical activity , food , good lifestyle choices , stress free life, regular medicals , good genetics and luck. I am aware of a person who was very health conscious and would exercises religiously and then have good food control and still had a heart attach at age 70. There was no way that could have happened unless stress and unluck would have been part of same. And other habits that could aid a long life seem to be unscientific and controversial. Anyways , I do not think remaining unmarried will guarantee a long life, lol! Have a nice day!
