| Re: How do Centinarians live to 100
My grandmother lived to be 100. She never smoked or did bing drinking. It always looked like she did everything in moderation. Never really seen her exercise, but then she did walk up and down stairs to go to the bathroom and bed. She was very content and satified with her life. Never worried about if the food was organic or had chemicals in it. She did eat a lot of fish, vegetables, and fruit. She ate small portions. She made the best German beef pot pie and strawberry shortcake. The only baked goods she'd buy was white bread and Ginger Snaps. All cakes and other cookies were homemade. She used Imperial margarine on her toast for breakfast and non-dairy creamer in her coffie. She stashed cut and cleaned carrots and celery in the fridge in salt water to snack on. She didn't do dessert or eat candy. She had only ONE high-ball and 3 ginger snaps before bed to help her sleep well. She prayed a lot and went to church or had the priest visit her. She'd crochet afgans and rugs, so she had a hobby. She kept her mind busy by memorizing the soap opera characters, answering game shows, and doing her own taxes. She loved fried oysters. She dyed her Easter eggs with onion skins. She had lots of children to visit her. Beats me!.....Maybe it's the genes.
