hi everyone have you ever considered how lucky we all are according to scientific data the average human life expectancy is 79 years on the one hand that's a lot on the other we all want to live a very long life [Laughter] however do not forget that even 30 to 40 years ago the average life expectancy of a man was only 61 years in the 18th century people were lucky if they lived to be 33. as for the neolithic times people almost never lived beyond 21 years [Applause] the latest advances in medicine and technology have allowed us to bring our living standards to a whole new level however there are people on the planet who have discovered the secret of longevity on their own and today we will tell you about them let's get it on [Music] dimitro comanescu although our first hero is the youngest in our list for today he is nevertheless one of the oldest men on the planet to be precise he is the third oldest living man in the world dmitry comanescu lives in romania and on november 8th he will hopefully celebrate his 112th birthday what's the secret of his long life there are several factors dmitry claims the secret is simple [Laughter] be a loving caring family man his neighbors believe that his secret lies in a diet which consists of large amounts of homemade milk and honey in addition the village where dmitry lives is located about 100 kilometers from bucharest there are no factories few cars so clean rural air must be another reason why the 111 year old man is alive and quite healthy we have to say right away not all the people we're about to show you are still alive there's something sad about this but after all we are talking about old people who are grateful for every new day chitsu watanabe was born in 1907 in the ordinary japanese village first the man decided to follow in the footsteps of his parents and become a farmer so he graduated from an agricultural school then he went to taiwan to work for a sugarcane plant having survived the second world war chittetsu decided to return to his homeland and got a job as a civil servant after retiring the old man became interested in the art of bonsai and grew vegetables when people ask him how to live long the man answered you just need to smile more often never be angry and quickly forget all the bad stuff on february 12th of this year the guinness book of records called chittetsu watanabe the oldest living man in the world and on february 23rd he unfortunately passed away it was just 11 days before his 113th birthday richard overton my name is richard ivan overton if you get to know this person better there won't be any questions how he managed to live to 112 years during his lifetime richard was one of the oldest men in the united states he was also the oldest veteran of world war ii in the united states richard was born on may 11 1906 and only 34 years later he finally found his true life purpose the army overton served in the south pacific the media claimed that richard saw an attack on pearl harbor with his own eyes even at a very advanced age he did not lose his strength of spirit and displayed fearlessness which helped him survive the war he says nothing ever bothers him he can sleep with every door open without a lock on it many people become inactive and need help when they turn 90 but when richard hit 100 years old he still led a rather active lifestyle and even drove a car in 2016 he even renewed his driving license all by himself at that time he was already 108 years old richard overton has been honored with many awards such as the us army good conduct medal and american defense service medal he passed away on december 27 2018. bob waiting now let's talk about the man who is officially recognized as the oldest living man on the planet bob wayne is a resident of the united kingdom he was born in kingston upon whole and looking at him it's hard to believe that a month ago he celebrated his 112th birthday in his youth bob took up a marine engineering apprenticeship then moved to taiwan he spent two years in japan studying the language in 1939 bob and his wife wanted to return to britain but the war broke out and the couple ended up in toronto canada then they moved to connecticut then washington and only after the war was over they finally returned home bob devoted his life to teaching even after celebrating his 110th birthday mr wayton continues to be active and able to walk on his own when asked about the secret of his longevity bob says that he simply avoids dying hester ford if you look at the list of 100 oldest people on the planet it's easy to notice that there are very few men only six of them to be exact so let's talk about women for a change let's start with hester ford from the u.s who was born on august 15 1904 in lancaster for five months now she's the oldest living u.s citizen last year she turned 115 years old [Applause] [Music] and although the holiday was a real event we would not want to attend it why too crowded hester's family is huge the woman raised 12 children as of 2017 she has 53 grandchildren 120 great-grandchildren and 126g great-great-grandchildren lucille randon and here we have a woman who is not only the oldest person in france but also in the entirety of europe lucille randon was born on february 11 1904 which means that a couple of months ago she turned 116 years old this woman has spent her entire life helping others and serving god when she was young lucille worked as a teacher and a governess in 1923 she was baptized and after world war ii she chose an extremely important and noble mission for 28 years lucille worked in a hospital where she cared for orphans and the elderly the woman decided to spend her old age on a monastery where she has been living for more than 40 years now despite her age lucille is adamant about attending mass at 11 o'clock and taking part in the evening prayers [Music] in her free time the old lady likes to listen to the radio and walk around the garden jerome on kimura can you imagine a cake big enough to fit 116 candles well this man can he not only ate a cake like that but he was also the one who blew all the candles out himself jerome on camera was a man who held the title of the oldest person on the planet for the whole last year of his life besides for two years he was also the oldest man alive jerome on was born in the japanese city of kyotengo after graduating from school he got a job in the post office where he then worked for 45 years after retiring he did not become a slacker he spent all his free time on a farm it's no secret that working with livestock in the garden or in the field is incredibly hard and exhausting that's why it's all the more surprising that geroman was doing all these things until he turned 90 years old then unfortunately his legs began to weaken so he had to give up what he loved kimura said that the secret to his longevity was regular physical activity and proper balanced nutrition he died in 2013 having seven children and a bunch of grandchildren with great grandchildren kane tanaka you are looking at the world's oldest living person on january 2nd kane tanaka a resident of japan celebrated her 117th birthday the more you find out about this amazing woman the more you admire her kane was born prematurely she survived the first world war then the second although she lost her husband and son in the latter she somehow managed to recover from her grief and worked in her family shop until her retirement at the age of 103 this woman won another battle with death this time she managed to beat colon cancer today kane tanaka lives in a nursing home she likes doing calligraphy writing poetry and walking down memory lane which is pretty long in her case her four keys to a long life are family hope healthy sleep and a balanced diet we wish for the old woman's dream to come true she said that she would love to live to the age of 120. [Applause] jean calment 122 years old that's how old this woman was when she parted with the title of the oldest living person on earth even though gene calment died in 1997 more than 20 years ago we simply had to include her in the list this woman is the only person over 120 years old whose age was documented she was born in arles in 1875. she came from a rich family had a good marriage and so could afford not to work jean spent her free time playing tennis and cycling she loved to swim rollerblade play the piano and go to the opera when she turned 110 years old calment became a celebrity since then a crowd of reporters attended each of her birthdays jean became quite a research subject for doctors she also felt no need for a healthy lifestyle jean smoked for 95 years she gave up cigarettes at the age of 117 years because of her loss of eyesight it became too hard to light a cigarette leeching you in we would love to show you this person on video but we simply can't the thing is when leeching you in was still alive there were no cameras yet but still we just have to tell you about the man who lived for 256 years no yes you heard right there is actually no official contemporary confirmation of his age ancient records show that lee ching yuan was born in 1677 which people readily believed he spent most of his life in the mountains where he practiced alchemy he collected and sold medicinal herbs by the way it is believed that they are the secret of his incredible longevity according to various sources lee ching yuan was married from 14 to 24 times during his 256 years he produced then 180 descendants the man died in 1933. this is it for today see you soon [Music] you
