109-year-old woman said secret to long life is avoiding men
A 109-year-old woman in Scotland said in January
that the secret to her longevity is this: Eat your
porridge and avoid men. Centenarian Jessie Gallan,
who never married, was born in a tiny two-room
farm cottage where she slept “top-to-tail”
with her five sisters and a brother on a straw
mattress, reported The Daily Mail.

Gallan told the newspaper that her “secret to a
long life has been staying away from men.
They’re just more trouble than they’re
worth.” She noted that she also “made sure
that I got plenty of exercise, eat a nice warm
bowl of porridge every morning and have never
gotten married.”

Last year when she turned 108, she credited her
porridge — but not avoiding men — as the
reason for her longevity.The oldest person in the
world is currently 
Susannah Mushatt Jones, who turned 116 over the
summer. She claims that eating bacon is the secret
to long life.

Last year, a national survey of centenarians in
the United States found that the secrets to long
life include plenty of time with friends and
family and a commitment to fitness.

Jessie Gallan, died three months after her
birthday in January 2015.
