“My great aunt is 102, going on 103 and still living it up.
She lived through the end of WWI, the Spanish influenza, and WWII.
She ended up catching COVID last year but barely had symptoms.
She also has a laptop and a smartphone and regularly sends me WhatsApp messages.”
“My mother is 86 years old.
She still mows her lawns and takes care of all her house-keeping at both homes she owns.
I really think she will make it another 10 to 15 years.”

“My grandma is 103 and still with us.
She says what keeps her going is ice cream every single day.
She says eating healthy is important, but so is being happy.
So have that scoop of ice cream after dinner.”
“My grandfather lived to be 93.
He would eat half of a raw onion with lunch and supper as if it were an apple.
I told him Im telling my kids thats what kept him healthy and alive all those years.
He got a kick out of that, but Im really convinced thats what it was.”

She loves Netflix and using her iPad and iPhone, too.

“My grandpa is 99, and he would say his longevity is God’s doing.
I think, however, his daily walks have a lot to do with it.
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, he uses his little floor foot pedals.
He has to use a walker now, but he still goes out every day if he can.”
