Q: What is the secret to Great Health?
A: Olive Oil on your food and skin, drinking port wine, and eating 2 pounds of chocolate a week!
Jeanne Louise Calment from Arles, France
122 years and 164 days old
(Feb. 21, 1875 - Aug. 4, 1997)
Guinness Book of Records as the "Oldest Person Who Had Ever Lived"
Calment's remarkable health presaged her later record. At age 85, she took up fencing, and at 100, she was still riding a bicycle. Jeanne lived on her own until shortly before her 110th birthday, when it was decided that she needed to be moved to a nursing home. However, Jeanne was still in good shape, and was able to walk until a fall at age 114 years and 11 months, which required surgery.
She reportedly attributed her longevity and relatively youthful appearance for her age to olive oil, which she said she poured on all her food and rubbed onto her skin, as well as a diet of port wine, and nearly 2 pounds of chocolate eaten every week.
