Oldest Man In The World Turns 113!

Filed under: Etc.

oldest-man.jpg

The oldest man in the world is celebrating his 113th birthday today.

Damn! That's a lot of years!

And, Tomoji Tanabe of Miyakonojo in southern Japan says he wants to live ten more years! He intends to do this by continuing to eat mostly vegetables and to indulge in his favorite - fried shrimp - only occasionally.

He believes the key to longevity is a life of sobriety.
That's right, no alcohol.

That doesn't bode well for our fave Hallywood shIt Girls!

The local mayor presented Tanabe with flowers and a giant tea cup glazed with his name and date of birth as a gift. Arigato!

Happy Birthday! And many many more!

    I just read an article that will be coming out in a November issue of a magazine that the islands of Okinawa Japan, the Centenarian's over 70 wer to be lean and fit, that their arteires were clean and that they had remarkably low rates of cancer and heart disease. and those in their late 90's fewere had dementia than comparable populations in other devleoped lands. One major factor was genetics, but other factors included AVOIDANCE OF TABACCO, moderation in alcohol use, and a good diet. This diet tends to be low in calories and high in vegetables and fruits, natural fiber and good fats (omega -3, monounsatureated fat) and people have the habit of eating until they are 80 percent full because there is about a 20 minute delay before the stomach tells the brain. They also keep physically active with gardening, daily walking, dancing and other activities. tests revealed that these people were optimistic and adaptable. They handled stress well and women especially manifested strong social intergaraion. THERE IS NO MAGIC PILL for longevity. It's influenced by genes, diet excersse, good habits and healthy ways of coping with stress.

  54. tia says – reply to this


    54

    his cake looks good as hell lol….anywho thats wassup,as long as he is in good health and happy…some people are living to be 100 but are living in pain in their joints and all kinds of problems so if i was to live that long i would want to at least be healthy instead of living with agony and pain lol…but thats great for him!



  55. 55

    Happy Birthday Old Fart!



  56. 56

    oooo the cake looks goood



  57. 57

    I heard Tanabe plans to star in a coming of age movie directed by John Hughes called "116 candles". It's a story about a man whose parents forget his birthday because they've been dead for the past 70 years.



  58. 58

    Re: Leona$ Gho$t – stop.



  59. 59

  61. 61

    Awesome..He looks really good too. most people 70 and older look like hell and move like zombies.

    why does the frickin' cake say 111 ??? is he a LIAR Like mcCain and palin?

  70. JET says – reply to this


    70

    LIES …… all LIES
    .
    1st the alleged story came from MSNBC, and EVERYONE knows that those lying bastards have NO credibility.
    .
    2nd, he's probably Chinese and not Japanese. The Communist Chinese LIED about him being Japanese and also about his age. He's actually 63 years old, was born in Peking, and was a coach this year for the Communist Chinese pre-pube girl's Olympic gymnastics team.



  71. 71

    what the heck does this have to do with sarah palin?
