Centenarians are those few people in life who manage to make it to their 100th birthday. Needless to say this is a great achievement, but cycling at this age is another story. Well, the story for Jeanne Calment at least. She is the oldest person documented to have ever lived, reaching 122 and half years old.

Now I’m not saying that I would like to live this long if I could do absolutely nothing, but Jeanne was full capable if cycling up until her 100th birthday.

If you ask me she was a very clever woman. Why? She married a wealthy man that enabled her to live a leisured lifestyle including tennis, swimming and roller-skating. It would have been perfect and I wonder how far her life would have spanned to if Pole Fitness were added to the list…

Now aside from having the luxury of a rich man, there was one thing she accredited for her longevity and youthful appearance. Olive oil. She poured it on all her food and rubbed onto her skin as a moisturizer. To compliment this she also had nearly one kilo of chocolate every week.

So here is your simple list to living a very long time:

A rich man
Pole Fitness
Olive Oil (drizzle over the rich man – two in one!)
Dark Chocolate

No wonder she lived so long, she didn't need to go to heaven 'cos she was already in it!

Of course you don’t have to get the first on the list, but it would help if you want to live that long that badly.
