World's Oldest Man Celebrates 112th Birthday

John Tinniswood, who recently celebrated his 112th birthday, attributes his longevity to 'just luck' rather than any special diet or lifestyle choices. Born in 1912, he became the world's oldest living man after Juan Vicente Pérez Mora passed away. Tinniswood enjoys a weekly portion of fish and chips but does not adhere to a strict diet, stating, 'I eat what they give me.' He believes that longevity is a matter of chance and feels 'no different' at his age. In a related note, Maria Branyas, who lived to be 117, emphasized the importance of good genetics and a balanced lifestyle, mentioning that she consumed yogurt regularly. Both centenarians highlight the unpredictable nature of aging and the varied factors that contribute to longevity.
