Jiroemon Kimura, recognised by the Guinness World Records as the world's oldest person ever has died in Kyotango, Japan. He was 116 years.
Kimura, a former Japanese postman died of natural causes after being treated of pneumonia. He had 7 children, 14 grand children, 25 great-grand children and 15 great- great- grand children.
He attributed his longevity to eating only healthy foods in small portions, as well as getting out in the sunlight. His motto was "eat light to live long".
Another Japanese, a woman, Misao Okawa of Osaka now holds the new world record at 115 yrs.
The oldest person ever was Jeanne Calment, a French woman, who died in 1997 at 122 yrs & 164 days by Guinness World Record.
NOTE: IF you want to live long take a clue from Kimura's secret, "eat only healthy foods in small portion".
Asians must have a secret to longevity.
