 Read the information about Fauja’s secret to a long life.
Fauja Singh has a very simple vegetarian diet, and he
is careful about what he eats. He eats a lot of dahl, green
vegetables, and yogurt and he never eats fried food. He also
drinks lots of water and tea with ginger. He thinks that old
people in Britain get sick because they eat too much rich
food, and they don't exercise enough.
For him, the secret to a long life is to have no stress and
to be grateful for everything you have. The other thing is to
smile a lot, go to bed early, and think positive thoughts-oh,
and go running!
