108-year-old reveals her secret to long life: 'Eating dessert & flirting with men with mustaches!'
Helen Denmark, an Alabama woman, recently celebrated her 108th birthday with an unconventional twist.?
When asked how she keeps herself feeling young, she candidly replied, "drinking wine, eating dessert, and flirting with men with mustaches."
Denmark, who turned 108 on Sunday, was the star of a lively party on Monday, thrown by her friends and caregivers at Brookdale Assisted Living in Birmingham.?
Despite reaching such an impressive age, she humorously remarked to WDHN-TV that she doesn't feel any older than she did at 107.?
Her secret to staying youthful? Indulging in life's pleasures with a glass of wine, a slice of dessert, and a playful wink at mustachioed gentlemen.
Her zest for life is a delightful reminder that age is merely a number. Helen Denmark's story joins the ranks of other inspiring seniors who continue to live life to the fullest.?
One such remarkable individual is 102-year-old Deborah Szekely, who has been a fixture at the health spa she co-founded in 1940, Rancho La Puerta in Baja California, Mexico. Szekely, who lost her husband but not her passion, still works at the resort three days a week with no plans to retire.
"When I woke up the morning I turned 100, I couldn't find anything that was different so I kept on doing the [same] thing," Szekely told CNBC. "It's not a thing you do. It's a part of life, it¡¯s something you automatically know I've got to do that. It's not an option."
These women remind us that whether it¡¯s savoring a favorite dessert, staying active, or sharing a laugh, we should embrace each moment with joy and enthusiasm.
