I was just going through wikipedia...and while browsing i stubbled upon this article about Jeanne Calment....who who had the longest confirmed human life span in history, living to the age of 122 years, 164 days...... :noway:
There was a column about her lifestyle and health.... she said she poured Olive oil over al her food...and ate 1 kilo of chocolate every week!!!!!!
Man i wonder if that would work for us

Health and lifestyle
Jeanne's remarkable health presaged her later record. At age 85, she took up fencing, and continued to ride her bicycle up until her 100th birthday. :drinker:
She was reportedly neither athletic, nor fanatical about her health.[9] Calment lived on her own until shortly before her 110th birthday, when it was decided that she needed to be moved to a nursing home after a cooking accident (she was having complications with sight) started a small fire in her flat. However, Jeanne was still in good shape, and was able to walk until she fractured her femur during a fall at age 114 years and 11 months, which required surgery.[3][14] After her operation, Jeanne needed to use a wheelchair. She weighed 45 kilograms (99 lb) in 1994.[15] Calment became ill with influenza shortly before her 116th birthday.[16]
She smoked until the age of 117, only five years before her death.[1][16] Calment smoked from the age of 21 (1896), though according to an unspecified source, she smoked no more than two cigarettes per day.[17]
She ascribed her longevity and relatively youthful appearance for her age to olive oil, which she said she poured on all her food[4] and rubbed onto her skin, as well as a diet of port wine, and ate nearly one kilo of chocolate every week.[11] :drinker:
