A daily dose of chocolate

in #a8 years ago (edited)

Do you want to live longer? see the share of Mrs Tammy Modlin - over 100 years old
Tammy Modlin eats two pieces of dark chocolate every day. She's always limited herself to two pieces so she didn't [gain weight].
Modlin also believes eating vegetables from the garden and never drinking alcohol or smoking has allowed her to live a long, healthy life, Gentry said. The centenarian is losing her eyesight and her balance is off, but she still goes to church and prayer meetings. Modlin's bloodwork shows her health is very good, she added.
Gentry said her grandmother's life motto is: You don't always get what you want, but you get what you need.
Longevity seems to run in the family: When Modlin turned 100 last year, her relatives flew in her 99-year-old brother from Texas to attend the party.

When she was younger, Modlin was known for her archery skills, a sport she took up in her 20s. Her husband made the bows for the family and they traveled all over the country to compete. At one time, Modlin was in The Guinness Book of World Records for the farthest arrow shot, Gentry said.
She lived through the Great Depression and other tough times, but remained optimistic.
"My grandfather, her one true love, passed away in 1991 and she's still going," she added. "I get choked up because it's my grandma, whom I love to the moon and back."
