World’s oldest man has shared secret for his long age. Jan Tenniswood, the 111-year-old man, has said that long life is only a matter of luck; there is no special secret to diet.
He further said that his favorite meal every Friday was fish and chips.
The 111-year-old Tenniswood received the Guinness World Record title after the announcement of the death of a 114-year-old person from Venezuela this week.
According to reports, Tenniswood was born in 1912 in northern England. He is a retired accountant and former member of the postal service, and currently, his age is 111 years and 222 days.
When asked about the secret of the longest lifespan in the world, he replied that either you attain a long life or a short one, and you cannot do much about it.
Tinniswood while talking to Guinness World Records said “If you drink too much or you eat too much or you walk too much — if you do too much of anything — you’re going to suffer eventually.
In the end, he remarked, “it all comes down to luck. You either have a long life or a short one, and there’s not much you can do to change it.”
The world’s oldest living person is Maria Branyas Morera from Spain, who is 117 years old.
