'World's oldest person' credits long life to food doctor warned her never to eat A woman, who claims to be the oldest person alive and says she's just celebrated her 124th birthday, claims the secret to a long life is eating lard.
But she says more importantly, eating a simple meal of rice mixed with a piece of lard “the size of a table tennis ball”, is the key.
Qiu Chai says she was born on 1 January 1901 and is believed to be the oldest person in her city – and possibly, the world.
The grandma stated that eating three meals a day, taking walks in her garden or her local area and going to bed after 8pm every night is a must.
Despite doctors ordering her to eat less animal fat after suffering from eye and ear diseases, she says she isn’t stopping anytime soon.
