Eating Habits

The oldest person ever lived, Jeane Calment of France, attributed her longevity to a balanced diet. She consumed a lot of olive oil, ate chocolate, and drank red wine. In fact, she even smoked until the age of 117! However, it’s crucial to keep in mind that her unique genetics and lifestyle habits may have played a role in her ability to tolerate these unhealthy habits. Nevertheless, studies have shown that following a Mediterranean diet, which consists primarily of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean protein, and monounsaturated fats, can help prolong life.

Physical Activity

Another secret to reaching centenarian status is regular physical activity. The oldest person ever lived was active until the age of 110. She rode a bicycle until she was 100 and walked until she was 114. Engaging in regular exercise can improve heart health, mobility, and brain function, thus increasing the odds of reaching centenarian status. Moreover, studies have also shown that even light physical activity like walking can improve life expectancy.

Engaging in Social Activities

Jeane Calment stayed socially active until her demise at the age of 122. Social interaction can help reduce stress and depression, increase immune function and cognitive function, and may ultimately improve life expectancy. Engaging in social activities like playing cards, attending social events, and volunteering can help promote a sense of belonging and give one a sense of purpose.

Conclusion

Jeane Calment’s life serves as inspiration for anyone wanting to achieve longevity. While we cannot all live to be 122, we can learn from her secrets and apply them to our own lives. A healthy balanced diet, regular physical activity, and social interaction are just a few of the secrets that helped the oldest person ever lived reach centenarian status. Incorporating these habits into our own lifestyle may help us lead a long, healthy life.
