LOL. 'Online' has only existed since after they were already doing rather very well in the longevity stakes. The fellow in the OP was already a centenarian when the Internet was born. :)I also doubt they geek out online about what they should eat daily and take lots supplements.
India didn't record date of birth before 1900?
Reading other posts here regarding centenarians, there is no particular pattern on what makes centenarians live as long as they do. I don't think diet alone makes a person live a long life.
I also doubt they geek out online about what they should eat daily and what supplements to take. Some of these centenarians live in third world countries and are too poor to afford supplements. They just live their life.
I am positive he never worried about the persorption of the starches he ate, or the specific amino acid contents of the meats/fish he ate etc.
Here is an interesting 98yr old - gym rat - he looks good though for his age. Excuse me it is a Facebook link...

That's probably true, but I suppose his diet could have been favourable in these respects anyway, at least more favourable than the standard western diet (if there can be said to be such a thing).

I bet he would look better if he is not 'addicted' to the gym. Maybe still doing exercise outside that filthy sweaty place?
McDonald's was not available for at least the first half of their lives, and if something like it had been, it would have been made with saturated fat and pasture-raised animals etc.None of them I've come across have diets of McDonald's
+1I think it's important to realize that our food supply in developed countries, particularly America, is much less nutritious, and more toxic, than when these people were growing up. Even if you ate the exact same foods as these people, you would not be eating the exact same foods. It's also important to realize as your environment changes, so does your nutritional needs.

Mimicking diets of people that live in a totally different environment is poor reasoning.
Better to focus on energy and structure, rather than any particular foods.
I remember when I stayed in India for a couple months, living into old age was a big deal. They have a lot of incentive to lie about age, it makes them into a yogi. While over there I was always hearing about this 400 year old guy, or that immortal dude. You could go and get a blessing from him and donate. If you looked old enough, you could claim you were a saint and over xxx years old, and people give you money. India is a very corrupt place, for all its charms. And I mean that, lovely hospitality...just not a great value placed on honesty.
Now I know this guy is from indonesia, which is probably different, but I wonder if he was a bit of a celebrity for his claimed age.
