Regardless of who you identify as, longevity is accessible to all.
101-Year-Old Goes Viral at Pride, Shares Simple Tips for a Long Life: ‘Be Yourself’
" Clement follows a pescatarian diet, which is a vegetarian eating plan that incorporates seafood. Dietitians call it one of the best diets for overall health. It’s also particularly healthy for the heart when combined with the Mediterranean diet, studies have found.
He eats vegetables and fish, plus dairy and eggs, but avoids red meat. “It’s one less poor animal killed,” he recalls thinking as a young man. “I was not enamored of meat.”
The inclusion of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids supports heart health, reduces inflammation and promotes brain function, dietitians say. The plant-based part of his diet delivers lots of fiber, vitamins and other nutrients for good health.
Clement no longer drinks alcohol.
Treat Yourself Once in a While
“I’m a sucker for sweets,” Clement says.
One of his favorite desserts is vanilla ice cream with sliced and mashed strawberries.
Genes Aren’t Everything
Longevity doesn’t run in Clement’s family, other than one of his great-grandmothers who lived to be 98. His parents lived into their 70s.
When asked what has helped him live so long, Clement is stumped.
“I honestly don’t know. I just lived, and I’ve kept on living for this extra length of time, and you just live into it. There you are,” he says. “I feel very healthy, very normal.”"
