zest for life, humour. curiosity. simple life. Refusing that just because you are ....old, you just cannot do this or that if you can that is.
Centenarians seem to eat healthy lots of time.
They see age as a number only..

I have a few in my family and all were like that.

One at the moment has just entered the hospital at 104 but has his mind intact. He worked as a painter and sculptor up to 93 !
The other lived a simple life in a farm, stayed active, curious.

Maybe part of it is genetics also since they are all relatives of each other.



I read a lot about one super centenarian who is 114. Something that REALLY surprised me was that he smoked cigars until around 2002. He's on no medications at all and can remember his childhood and everything else very sharply, saying the day of a certain president's assassination was "the day he got his first haircut."

He said that all you need to do is stay active. He still exercises every day.



I think the biggest thing is probably staying active. I watch the Today Show and they do the Happy Birthday thing to 100+ people. Some people have mentioned a glass of wine or brandy a day. But almost all of them have stayed active doing something in the community, cooking, knitting, etc.
