A hundred-year-old British woman shared the secrets of longevity with Prince William

At a reception at Buckingham Palace dedicated to the centenary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II, heir to the throne Prince William talked with 100-year-old British Joan Illingworth, wishing to learn her recipe for a long life. This is reported by People magazine.

During the conversation with the centenarian, the Prince of Wales could not resist a joking remark, expressing surprise at her blooming appearance. Later, Illingworth shared her impressions of the conversation with the prince.

"The Prince of Wales said I looked good for my age and asked what my secret was," she said.

Joan described the regular consumption of fudge cream and licorice, popular British sweets, as the secret of her excellent health and longevity. Illingworth herself emphasized that the most important thing in life is not only proper nutrition, but also the ability to enjoy simple things.

On April 6, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) magazine reported on a 90-year-old Chinese man who traveled across the country on a bicycle. The man traveled most of the country: from Xinjiang and Gansu in the northwest to Shanghai and Zhejiang in the east, reaching Xiamen and Quanzhou in the south.
