Curry and tea
If your car was 100 years old and ran on ginger curry and tea – that would definitely be something wouldn’t it!
No, car manufacturers have not started making vehicles that run on Indian food and British beverages. Sorry.
But here’s something else just as impressive.
The worlds oldest marathon runner – 100 years of age – has stated that it is his 10-mile-a-day training regime and diet of ginger curry and tea which has given him his long and healthy life.
We must admit, despite our reservations about running ten miles a day ourselves, he does seem very happy.
He stated, “I am not a learned person in any shape or form. To me, the secret is being happy, doing charity work, staying healthy and being positive.
“If someone says I must stop running I ignore them – invariably they're younger than me. The secret to a long and healthy life is to be stress-free.
“If there's something you can't change then why worry about it? Be grateful for everything you have, stay away from people who are negative, stay smiling and keep running.”
Very wise words we think. Now if you will excuse us, we’re off to order a ginger curry and a cup of tea.
