113-Year-Old Man Credits These 5 Foods For His Long Life

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

By Heather Callaghan

Bernardo LaPallo is a well-known supercentenarian who turned 113 this year – but only looks as though he could just barely start the retirement process.

Retire, he won’t – even though he has vibrantly lived since 1901. He writes books and speaks around the country about natural health. The Brazilian-born man now resides in Mesa, Arizona.

His creed: You are what you eat. 

He eats mostly organic veggies and fruits, walks, does crossword puzzles, reads voraciously, plays checkers and cultivates his faith, spirituality and the Golden Rule.

This video was taken when he was a mere 110 chap – his message is still going viral.

What are his favored five foods?

Olive oil
Garlic
Cinnamon
Honey
Chocolate

He loves to tell people to use olive on their skin after a shower – soak it up and be wrinkle-free like him.

If you research him, you will a see a number of websites slapping fraudulent claims on him. It appears they don’t believe his story and suspect that he just wants to profit or that he can’t possibly be 113 due to his healthy appearance. They cite changing stories and a Social Security record dating a 1910 birth. Yet, it’s helpful to remember that the media plays a part in the information. It’s hard for people who have not been in this world nearly as long, to remember a time when Social Security did not exist – such as when LaPallo was born. According to him, as an African-American, he had to visit a separate office! And the recorder allegedly disregarded LaPallo’s given birth date. His family uses the old family Bible pages as documentation and has issued a lengthy official statement regarding the claims - and the media portrayal.

It’s understandable to want valid proof of age, but it hardly seems fair to make accusations without proof too. Not in the age of quick, sloppy journalism and not for supercentenarians who lived before the time of strict records. This is reminiscent of the 71-year-old woman who gets mistaken for her husband’s granddaughter – and didn’t get the chance to show her license on television as proof.

If, however, the Social Security office was correct and not his family Bible – that would still put him at a vigorous 103 age, an enviable centenarian.

You might enjoy this in-depth interview done by National Geographic to learn more about his lifestyle.

      I believe it because I’m doing it and the results are obvious to anyone who knows me. People tell me I look 20 years younger than I really am. All the time! I eat a minimum of 3 big cloves of garlic every day, in addition to taking every single vitamin I can get my hands on. I also cook with nothing but olive oil because I mostly make Chinese food.
      I’ve also heard of centagenarians who smoked and drank heavily and swore by it. I guess you could count me in that category as well. Regarding exercise: forget it! No sports, no exercise, none of that crap. If something needs to be done around the house or the garden weeded or whatever I call someone up and have them do it. Historically, it was always the nobility that lived the longest. Back in the mid-evil era, the serfs’ average lifespan was about 30, which goes to show you that work/exercise isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
      By all accounts I shouldn’t even be here. I only sleep about 4-5 hours a night. I drink about 10 cups of coffee a day, and eat just 1 large meal, usually at night. I don’t believe in any of that happy crap about having a positive attitude or whatever. Positive attitudes are for people who need them.
      This is just my take on it from my own experience. It may work for you. Or not.
