Uyakhumbula ngenkathi owesifazane omdala emhlabeni ethi i-sushi nama-nap kuwukhiye wempilo ende? Hhayi-ke, kukhona omunye umuntu oneminyaka eyikhulu ozibandakanya kakhulu emthonjeni wobusha: U-Agnes "Aggie" Fenton, ofike kwabakhulu abayi-110 ngoMgqibelo, uthi umkhuba wakhe wokuphuza nsuku zonke yiwona omenze wehla lo mgwaqo, kubika iNorthJersey.com .

UFenton uthe ujabulele ubhiya obuthathu nesibhamu nsuku zonke cishe iminyaka engama-70. Uma ufuna ukuthola ubuchwepheshe ngakho, empeleni, bekunguMiller High Life noJohnnie Walker Blue Label. (Ingabe umkhuba wakho weBuck Chuck Ulimaza Impilo Yakho?)

Ngokushaqisayo, uFenton wabelana ngokuthi empeleni uthole izeluleko zobhiya-ngosuku ezintathu kudokotela, ngemuva kokukhishwa kwesimila esibi eminyakeni eminingi eyedlule (ngokuyisimangaliso, wakhe kuphela inkinga enkulu yezempilo kuze kube manje). Yize kudingeke ukuthi awuyeke lo mkhuba wokuphuza (abanakekeli bakhe abafuni ukuthi aphuze utshwala ngoba usedla kancane manje), uphinde abike ngokufunda iphephandaba nokulalela umsakazo nsuku zonke, ethandaza, elala kakhulu. Futhi, uma kwenzeka uzibuza, ukudla akuthandayo ngamaphiko enkukhu, ubhontshisi obuluhlaza, nobhatata (ngokwezwi nezwi, u-Aggie ofanayo). (Futhi, thola ukuthi kungani Ukulindela Ukuphila Kude Kwabesifazane Emhlabeni Wonke.)

Njengoba bembalwa kangaka abenza iklabhu le-uber-exclusive "supercentenarian" club (cishe umuntu oyedwa kubantu abayizigidi eziyi-10 uhlala ku-110 noma ngaphezulu), akunakwenzeka ukwazi ukuthi yini ngempela ngempela obhekene nempilo enhle ngendlela engavamile, kodwa ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi abantu abaneminyaka eyikhulu banezici ezimbalwa ezifanayo—abavamile ukukhuluphala noma banomlando wokubhema, futhi bangase babe nekhono lokusingatha ukucindezeleka kangcono kunabantu abaningi. Futhi-ke, izakhi zofuzo nomlando womndeni nakho kuyizici ezinkulu. (Ufuna ukujoyina iklabhu? Bona le Mikhuba Emibi emithathu Ezokonakalisa Impilo Yakho Yesikhathi Esizayo).

"Ngamunye wethu oneminyaka eyikhulu unezimfihlo zakhe ezihlukene," kusho u-Stacy Andersen, umphathi wephrojekthi we-Boston University's New England Centenarian Study, uFenton abambe iqhaza kukho eminyakeni emihlanu edlule. "Uma u-Agnes ezwa ukuthi okwakhe wutshwala, mhlawumbe buphuzile, kodwa impela asikutholi lokho kungahambisani nabo bonke abantu abaneminyaka eyikhulu."

Ngamanye amazwi, ungase ungafuni ukugijima uye esitolo sotshwala okwamanje. Izimpiko zenkukhu, ubhontshisi obuluhlaza, namazambane, noma kunjalo, siyajabula ukuqala ukugcina isitoko.
