Gunda Harangen, Norway’s oldest woman, has died at the age of 109. The Norwegian woman drank a glass of brandy every day and lived alone without a man.
According to him, this was the secret of his longevity. Gunda Harangen’s cousin informed Norwegian media of his death.
According to him, the century-old woman died in her sleep.
Gunda Harangen was just a month away from its 110th birthday.
The woman was born on December 28, 1898 and was the oldest of seven siblings in the family.
Perhaps women who want to live a long life will be helped by the Norwegian’s advice to avoid relationships with the opposite sex.
However, for men, as British scientists found out, the situation is different.
In August 2008, the results of research were published, according to which polygamy is the key to male longevity.
Among the factors that prolong life, scientists also mention the presence of children and excellent education.
Children make parents’ lives varied, chaotic and stressful, forcing adults to be more attentive and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Regarding the effect of education on life expectancy.
Men and women with tertiary education have only half the chance of dying compared to those with primary education in the same age group.
Researchers believe that another way to prolong life is through turbulent family scenes.
According to scientists, spouses who prefer to resolve problems peacefully and do not give space to their feelings have an early mortality rate twice as high as those who express their feelings in one way or another.
