Secret for a long life

[basilio]

No one really knows the secret to a long life. Is it good clean living ? Plenty of sleep, good food, happy wife, lots of exercise ?

Perhaps we have missed the most critical aspect. Do not wash yourself - at all - ever. If you do you will get sick and die.

Amou Haji feared water and soap, local reports say
A hermit dubbed by media as "the world's dirtiest man" has died at the age of 94, just months after having his first wash in decades.

Amou Haji had refused to use soap and water for more than half a century, fearing it would make him sick.
The Iranian, who lived in the southern province of Fars, had avoided previous attempts by villagers to get him clean.
But, local media say, Amou Haji finally succumbed to pressure and washed a few months ago.
According to Iran's IRNA news agency, he became ill shortly afterwards and died on Sunday.

Seriously,
good genes, healthy air and food and regular exercise with weights (not too much). The oldest person I ever knew was a male stone mason in New Zealand. 100 years and healthy all of them.

For men, Prince Phillip also did well. Weight lifting with the Queen? ?

Tibetans , those on the high plateau, were said to wash / be washed three times ... soon after birth, on wedding day and at death.

And now for something completely different.
This guy most definitely has a longer life than one could imagine given what he survived.
The secret to a long(er) life ? Don't panic.
Amazing story.

I survived three days in a capsized boat on the ocean floor – praying in my air bubble​

Harrison Okene had no choice but to listen in the dark as the shouts of his colleagues fell silent. His throat throbbed and his tongue peeled. Ten years on, he explains why he loves the sea more than ever – and decided to become a diver

Harrison Okene was sitting on the toilet – surely the worst place to be as disaster strikes – when a freak wave hit the tugboat he was working on, and turned it upside down. Now he was on the floor, and the toilet was above him.

“I was trying to open the door to get out, when the toilet fell and hit me on the head,” he says. He just had time to see blood pour from the wound before the lights went off. “Everywhere was dark.” The bathroom began to fill with water. “It didn’t take long,” he says. “One minute, two minutes” – and he felt the boat touch the seabed. Thirty metres (100ft) below the surface, it came to rest.

Okene himself doesn’t use the word “disaster” to describe the events of 26 May 2013, and the extraordinary days that followed. He has come to view the experience very differently. He had always loved water, and as a child dreamed of a house by the sea. He loves it even more now.

If that was the secret to longevity, poms would live forever.
