Walter Breuning is 112 and the oldest man in America and the only supercentenarian male in america. He is in very good health and walks around every day with his walker and is mentally very sharp.

By the way, Walter Breuning in that video was not wrong about his age when he said he was 110. That is not a mistake.

I actually recall seeing that video about 2 years ago.

How sad // It's too bad / illogical that they didn't specify that in the captions by the video.

Well, it said the video was taken in 2007.

Here's the world's oldest man's secret to a long life:

— Embrace change, even when the change slaps you in the face. ("Every change is good.")

— Eat two meals a day ("That's all you need.")

— Work as long as you can ("That money's going to come in handy.")

— Help others ("The more you do for others, the better shape you're in.")

Then there's the hardest part. It's a lesson Breuning said he learned from his grandfather: Accept death.

"We're going to die. Some people are scared of dying. Never be afraid to die. Because you're born to die," he said.


I think this is a testament to a good lifestyle leading to some measure of longevity.  His parents only lived into their 50's.
