HEALTH GOSSIP: The World's Oldest Man Dies at 112, but leaves behind the secret of His Longevity!!!!

Many people wish and pray that they get to see their grand children. But here is the story of a person who has seen his GREAT-GREAT grand children(awesome)... Keep reading......

In a report by Daily Mail, Guinness World Records says the former musician and coal miner certified as the world's oldest man has died.

Salustiano Sanchez-Blazquez was 112.
Guinness consultant Robert Young says Sanchez-Blazquez died Friday at a nursing home in Grand Island, N.Y. Nicknamed "Shorty," Sanchez-Blazquez became the world's oldest man when Jiroemon Kimura died in June at age 116.

Sanchez-Blazquez was born June 8, 1901, in the village of El Tejado de Bejar, Spain. He moved to Cuba at 17, then to the United States in 1920 where he worked the coal mines of Lynch, Ky. He eventually moved to the Niagara Falls area.

He died this week in New York state
He had two children, seven grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.

NOTE THIS: Sanchez-Blazquez, nicknamed 'Shorty', said a daily intake of BANANAs and six Anacin tablets( the trade name for a group of drugs used to treat headache, muscle aches, arthritis, backache, toothaches, colds, and fevers) contributed to his longevity.

Sanchez-Blazquez, a great-great-grandfather, said he was humbled by the attention, but he didn't feel he accomplished anything special just because he has lived longer than most.

FOR LADIES: A senior gerontology consultant with Guinness World Records, said 90 percent of all supercentenarians are female and Salustiano was the only male born in 1901 with proof of birth.

Guinness World Records used census reports, immigration papers, marriage records and news reports to confirm the record.

INFO: The oldest authenticated person was Jeanne Louise Calment of France, who died at the age of 122 years and 164 days.

He married his wife, Pearl, in 1934.
When she died in 1988, he lived with his daughter Irene Johnson, 69, before moving into a nursing home in 2007.

Grand Island's Johnson offered her own theory for her dad's staying power: 'I think it's just because he's an independent, stubborn man.'(Lol)

Sanchez-Blazquez has a daughter, a 76-year-old son, John, seven grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.

In June 2012, the Life expectancy in Nigeria came down to 47 years, making it the lowest among west African countries, as against some western Countries like Japan(with 83 years) and USA(79 years)...

Do you think some Nigerians get to live that long? Also if you need more info on Anacin...... Just ask!!!
