The oldest twins in the world share secrets of longevity

The oldest twins in the world Peter and Paulus Langerok celebrated a centenary anniversary two years ago. The brothers never thought that they would ever be able to live until the birthday, marked by a three-digit number. Now they with a smile recollect a case which has occurred on reception at the doctor exactly 15 years ago. The doctor shared his assumptions about their state of health and expressed certain doubts about the achievement by the brothers of the centenary mark. However, then they were not at all upset. And now Paulus admitted to journalists that he never dreamed of becoming a long-liver.

Record, recorded in the Guinness Book of Records

Peter and Paulus celebrated their 102nd birthday last month. This date would be unremarkable, if not for one circumstance. The Guinness Book of Records officially confirms that our heroes are the oldest living twins. The brothers do not hide that they never aspired to this title. Therefore, judging by their habits, we can only guess what their secrets of longevity are.

Favorite red wine

Probably, the excellent health of the Langerok brothers was achieved thanks to his favorite drink - red wine Bordeaux. For many decades, they drink one glass a day. This is the case when moderation shows its superiority over abuse.

Other secrets

Communicating with journalists on the occasion of the registration of the record in the Guinness Book, our heroes recalled all their habits, which, in their opinion, could affect longevity. Here is what the farewell result in the result: "Do not waste your life in vain, do not overeat and do not lash after women." According to Paulus, the best thing that can be done in this life is to find one woman and live with her by the end of her days. It's amazing to hear these words from the mouth of a bachelor (none of the twins ever married).

They are best friends

However, the absence of families does not mean that the brothers are reclusive. Three years ago they moved to a nursing home, where they share one room for two. However, they are not accustomed to living together. Once upon a time, even in their mature years, they realized that they were the closest to each other. Since then, they have not parted. We sincerely hope that the Langerok brothers will also have to meet more than one birthday day together.

The concept of other long-livers in action

And although Peter and Paulus never intentionally did not strive for longevity, their main secrets completely coincide with the concepts of other venerable elders. For example, Pauline Spagnola from Pennsylvania earlier this year celebrated its 100th anniversary. The woman confesses that she was fond of drinking all her life. But the 109-year-old Jesse Gallan from Scotland was never married and always stayed out of the male society.
