The life expectancy of each person, first of all, depends on a huge number of factors. This may include his nutrition, lifestyle, genetic predisposition to something and much more. In our country, life expectancy varies in the region of sixty to seventy years. If we talk about the representatives of modern society who live in Europe, then their age is a little more. The rest of the article will focus on those people who have already beaten absolutely all records, showing us a special love for their lives.
The oldest people in the world, or rather their names, are included in the Guinness Book of Records. The oldest person in the entire history of her existence is considered to be a woman whose name is Kalman Jeanne Louise. She was born at the end of the nineteenth century in Paris. The total life expectancy of the record holder was almost one hundred twenty-three years. Jeanne lived the longest life, having survived all her daughters, grandchildren and granddaughters. This information is documented in special papers by scientists.
The list does not end there. There was another person in the world who is considered today to be a long-liver. He passed away sixteen years ago. At that time, the Japanese was almost one hundred twenty-one years old. Nobody survived him, except for Jeanne. This old man became not only the long-liver of our planet, he was the first man to set a record for work. The fact is that the Japanese retired when he was ninety-eight years old. The name Shigechio is recorded in the very first census of the entire population of then-Japan. That was in 1871. The most interesting thing is that the old man in his seventies began to smoke, which in no way affected his health. Some sources claim that the Japanese died at one hundred and five years. However, we most likely will never be able to find out the truth.
We continue the list called "The Oldest People in the World." Thomas Peter passed away a little over ten years ago. He was born in Denmark. The Guinness Book of Records records his age at the time of death. Thomas lived for more than one hundred and fifteen years. In this case, there is no doubt about this figure, since today there are records that indicate the date of baptism, birth, the presence of a name in the census documents. That is why information about the age of the long-liver is absolutely reliable.
Some of the oldest people in the world still live. For example, Anna Eugenie Blanchard. Her age at the moment is already almost one hundred and fifteen years. As for the male centenarians who live in our time, it is, first of all, Walter Breuning. His age has now crossed the line of one hundred and thirteen years. At the moment, this person takes only fourth place in the Guinness Book of Records. However, perhaps he will surpass and outlive the three women who occupy the first three lines in this literature.
If you are interested in where the oldest people in the world live, what is the secret of their longevity, you can always turn to them personally with these questions. Finding centenarians is very simple. To do this, there are special sites on the Internet. It is enough to enter the phrase “the oldest people on the planet” into the search box, and your eyes will open many sites relevant to the topic. In addition, anyone has the opportunity to chat with relatives of the elderly. They are also easy to find on social networks. The oldest people on the planet most often with great pleasure communicate with outsiders, telling them about their lives, and share recipes for longevity. It is worth noting that most of them never followed any diets, led a normal lifestyle. Their weapon is optimism and love of life, no matter what surprises it presents.
