I was listening to the radio in the car the other day and heard that the oldest person had just died at 116. This lead to a discussion of Jeanne Calment, the oldest documented person who lived until the age of 122.
A frenchwoman, Jeanne shared her secrets to longevity, some of which included:
- wine,
- two cigarettes a day,
- tennis,
- bicycling,
- walking,
- and chocolate.
Although, perhaps what most contributed to her long life was her humor, wit, and lack of stress.
She once said:
"If you can't do anything about it, don't worry about it. "
Cheers!
