How to Live to be 103!!!


My great grandma Metheral lived to the ripe age of 103. When she turned 100, there was a huge party for her at her nursing home. All of the descendants were there for the proverbial photograph and my Gran was interviewed for the Calgary Herald, as part of a piece on centenarians.
These are some of her sound bites:

1.Never do anything standing that you can do sitting down.
2.Walk a mile a day.
3.Eat carrots everyday.
4.Have a nip of sherry or port before retiring.

Basically, exercise, eating well and indulging moderately.
All of her daughters lived to be 99,98,100 etc.My mom is 76 and has more energy than most teenagers......
Oh yes...good DNA helps
