Does it exist any substantial details about Jeanne Calment's lifestyle? Does anyone here have any clue to why she lived so long?
It is quite extraordinary that she was 8 years older than any currently living human when she died.
As far as I understand she must have eaten a typical mediterrean diet and lived quite healthy because she was always very active.
But many people around Jeanne in her area must have liven similar lives with comparable lifestyles without reaching extraordinary longevity.
It seems that nothing is known about her health after her 122th birthday and what she actually died of.
As far as I understand she was bound to a wheelchair and had problems with her vision and hearing although she could communicate and was mentally aware until the end.
Are there any public medical journals about her health status e.g her height and weight and otherwise physical status.
I don't know if it's only my opinion but it really seems that Jeanne aged in the same rate as would be expected on 30% Calorie restriction, when looking at pictures of her in younger ages she looks thin and noticeable younger than her chronological age.
So, Does anybody have any more interesting information about Jeanne Calment and do anybody have any ideas why she lived that abnormally much longer than was though possible by statistics???. The statistics say that one in 6 billion will reach 116 and she lived 6 and a half years longer than that!
