I find the “Aging of American” quite remarkable. It is a known fact that people are living 30 years+ past retirement!

U.S. Census figures show about 50,000 American are over age 100, with close to 1400 Supercentenarian  over age 110. The oldest human documented as such, was a French woman. She passed away in 1997 at the certified age of 122.

A most interesting website that provides details on this elder group is www.grg.org.  It is updated daily with an international breakdown with names, country and ages by the exact number of days that they have so far lived.

Living to 100 and beyond seems to have common patterns on the dietary and lifestyle habits for this group. Although there are some that break the rules, drink, smoke and eat unhealthy diets. Good genes plays a strong role without a doubt.  For tips on how you too can beat the odds…visit the Gerontology website noted above.

Having lived through 10 Presidential administrations myself … It appears that I could easily experience another 10!
