Woman Celebrates 107th Birthday, Says Secret To Long Life Is Staying Single And Never Marrying

What do you think could be the secret to a long life? Eating healthy? Exercising regularly? Thinking positive? Avoiding accidents?

Well apparently these are not enough. There's one more important thing we need to consider here. One of the oldest women in the US recently revealed the secret to her long life and, trust me, most of us will be more than willing to take her advice.?

Louise Signore, a resident in the Bronx, New York, recently celebrated her 107th birthday and when asked to share the secret of her long life she advised: stay single.?

But apart from being single Louise Signore also maintains a healthy diet and makes sure to exercise regularly. But she really believes that the reason why she was able to live through an entire century was because she NEVER got married.?

"If they have exercise, I do the exercise. If they have dancing, I dance. I still a do a little dancing. After my lunch, I will play bingo, so I had a full day," CNN quotes her as saying.?

She continued, "I think the secret of 107: I never got married. I think that's the secret. My sister says, 'I wish I never got married.'"

However, the sister herself is 102-years-old so the long life might be a genetic?gift.?

Reportedly, she had a party on her birthday and celebrated it at?the Bartow Community Center in Coop City. Apparently more than a 100 people attended the party! (That is an average of retaining almost one friend a year).?

The oldest woman in the US is Alelia Murphy. She is 114 years old and lives in Harlem in New York. Incidentally, it is also where Signore was born.

What if this were true though? If you have ever been in a committed relationship or a marriage you would know what a struggle it can be: the anger, the annoyance, the heartbreaks and then the moving on bit can take quite the toll on a person. In light of that, avoiding all this to chill out in life does not seem like a completely bad idea.

More and more people seem to be waking up to the horror that a marriage can be and even in our conservative Indian society the idea seems to be festering with some people actually living a single life. But she cracked the code way before than any of us millennials did.

Here's wishing her many more happy years of unmarried life.?
