Eli bhinqa lineminyaka eli-110 ubudala lityumze iibhiya ezintathu kunye neScotch yonke imihla
Umxholo
Uyakhumbula xa elona bhinqa lidala lehlabathi lathi i-sushi kunye ne-nap yayisisitshixo sobomi obude? Ewe, kukho omnye umntu oneminyaka elikhulu ubudala onomdla ophucukileyo kumthombo wolutsha: U-Agnes "Aggie" Fenton, ofike kwi-110 enkulu ngoMgqibelo, uthi indlela yakhe yokusela yemihla ngemihla yeyona nto imenze waphantsi kwale ndlela, NorthJersey.com Iingxelo .
UFenton uthe uyonwabela iibhiya ezintathu kunye nesitokhwe se-scotch yonke imihla phantse iminyaka engama-70. Ukuba ufuna ukufumana ubuchwephesha ngayo, eneneni, yayiyiMiller High Life kunye noJohnnie Walker Blue Label. (Ngaba umkhwa wakho weeBuck Chuck ezimbini uyonakalisa impilo yakho?)
Ngokuothusayo, izabelo zikaFenton zokuba ufumene ingcebiso ka-bhiya-ngemini kathathu kugqirha, emva kokuba esuswe ithumba elinobungozi kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo (ngokungummangaliso, yena kuphela ingxaki enkulu yezempilo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku). Ngelixa kwakufuneka abeke umkhwa wokusela emva kwakhe (abo bamgcinayo abafuni ukuba abe notywala kuba utya kancinci ngoku), ukwabika nokufunda iphephandaba nokumamela unomathotholo yonke imihla, esenza imithandazo yakhe, kwaye elele kakhulu. Kwaye, ukuba uyazibuza, ukutya okuthandayo ngamaphiko enkukhu, iimbotyi eziluhlaza, kunye neebhatata (ngokoqobo, u-Aggie ofanayo). (Ngaphezu koko, fumanisa ukuba kutheni ulindelo kuBomi lunde kubasetyhini kwihlabathi liphela.)
Kuba bambalwa abenza iklabhu ye-uber-ekhethekileyo "supercentenarian" club (phantse umntu kwisigidi esinye se-10 uhlala kwi-110 okanye ngaphezulu), akunakwenzeka ukuba wazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba yintoni ngokwenene linoxanduva lokufumana impilo entle engaqhelekanga, kodwa uphononongo lubonisa ukuba ikhulu leminyaka lineempawu ezimbalwa ezifanayo-kunqabile ukuba batyebe okanye banembali yokutshaya, kwaye banokuba namandla okuphatha uxinzelelo ngcono kunesininzi sabantu. Kwaye, ngokuqinisekileyo, imfuzo kunye nembali yosapho nazo zizinto ezinkulu. (Ufuna ukujoyina iklabhu? Jonga ezi zi-3 imikhwa emibi eya konakalisa impilo yakho yexesha elizayo).
"Ngamnye wethu oneminyaka elikhulu uneemfihlo zabo ezahlukeneyo," utshilo u-Stacy Andersen, umphathi weprojekthi kwiYunivesithi yaseBoston yeNew England Centenarian Study, apho uFenton athathe inxaxheba kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo. "Ukuba u-Agnes uziva eyakhe bubutywala, mhlawumbi butywala, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo asiyifumani loo nto ingaguquguquki kubo bonke abantu abadala."
Ngamanye amazwi, usenokungafuni ukubaleka kwivenkile yotywala okwangoku. Iimpiko zenkukhu, iimbotyi eziluhlaza, kunye neebhatata, nangona kunjalo, siyavuya ukuqalisa ukuqokelela.
