Live Long with One Glass of Olive Oil Daily
Would you drink one glass of olive oil for a chance to live to 120 years old? Apparently, that’s one of Mariam Amash’s secrets to longevity. While applying for a new Israeli identity card, Mariam said she was born 120 years ago. If confirmed, that would make her the oldest person in the Guinness Book of world records.
A granddaughter-in-law, Hamda Amash, 40, said Mariam is a “healthy, active woman. She walks each day and makes sure she drinks at least one glass of olive oil.”
What I find to be the real feat in this is not the age itself, but that she lived to be that old and seems to be still physically and mentally fit. Afterall, who wants to be old, but bedridden? or old but with flaky mental health?

I read about that, too, and all I could think was, “How big is the glass?!?”
I love olive oil, I do. But downing it straight would probably require me to drink some major alcohol beforehand. (And I don’t drink, so I guess that’s out of the question!)
I suppose I’m destined to live a shorter life.

If you asked ten different people over the age of 100 what did they think contributed to their long life they would probably all say something different
