101-year-old nutrition professor shares his 7 rules for a long, healthy life |
Longevity doesn’t run in Scharffenberg’s family — his mother died in her 60s from Alzheimer’s disease, and his father of a heart attack at 76 — so genes aren’t a factor helping him live beyond 100, he says.
The centenarian has also outlived his two brothers, which he attributes to being much more active than they were. “The main difference was I got a tremendous amount of exercise,” Scharffenberg, who lives with his son in North Fork, California, tells TODAY.com. Scharffenberg says people can live longer by following these seven lifestyle rules. |
