 Paragraph 1:
Worldwide, life expectancy is higher than ever before. In fact, a United Nations report shows that 20% of the population
will be aged 65 years older by 2050- a figure which is likely to continue rising.

Paragraph 2:
Although eating healthily has a strong showing in second place, even more centanarians attributed their long lifespans to
less conventional advice involving daily treats such as chocolate, bacon or sugary drinks.

Paragraph 3:Elizabeth Sullivan, 104,

sums up this paradox perfectly in a conversation with her doctor:“I
saw the doctor and he said, ‘Are you careful about what you eat?’ and I said, ‘Certainly not, I have been drinking three
sodas a day for a long time’, and he said, ‘Oh my Godness, that’s too much sugar. You will die if you keep drinking that,’ “she
recounted. “But 10 years later he died and I had to change doctors. So I’m still drinking three sodas a day and people said
that’s bad for me but you know, not very many people live to be 104. So I guess the sugar in the sodas has kept me alive all
this time.

Paragraph 4:
Somewhat controversially, more centanarians recommended a daily drink tan abstaining from drinking alcohol entirely-
seemingly claiming that a little bit of the bad stuff might do us some good after all.

Paragraph 5:
Other popular advice including staying active, keeping a positive attitude, and mantaining relationships with family and
friends. Similarly, getting enough sleep, being nice to others, and having religious faith were also acknowledged as
important parts of living well into old age.

Paragraph 6:
Judging from the advice collated, striking a happy balance seems to be the key to a long and healthy life. None of the
centanarians featured in the research recommended crash diets or complete lifestyle renovations. Instead, their tips were
tailored to their own lifestyles and practiced consistenly. Most of them have been indulging in a daily glass of wine, eating
plenty of vegetables, or simply keeping sa loving network of family and friends.
