World's Oldest Man is British Claiming Fish & Chips is the Key to His Long Life

I never imagined I would see 'fish and chips' as the reason for long life. I suspect random chance and the fact he rarely drinks alcohol and doesn't smoke have been contributory factors. I wonder what italians and greeks are thinking who normally boast about their Mediterranean diet extending their lifespans and now read this news. If ever I get to 100 plus I will completely fake the reasons for my long life with feasting on pork pies and drinking whole bottles of vodka.

We are all wired up differently. Maybe the Fish N Chips Is true but Its the same as everything else It doesn't work for everybody. I love Fish N Chips and haven't had one In ages due to how much they cost. I will have to treat myself to one. I remember growing up and Fridays was Fish N Chip day In my household. Plus the Chip van used to come up my street most nights too. Lovely.

Don't mind fish and fries, but every week? Not for me. I prefer meat.

Right more fish and chips all around from now on

Chippy fish and chips is close to a tenner here and I begrudge paying so much, so it looks like I'll be dying early

You could try a home made recipe TC

You can make lovely rustic chips in an air fryer , cut up some chunky ones still in their skins and sprinkle with some herbs and spices you like , plus some salt and a spray of olive oil , or paste it them lightly on if you dont have a spray

Just stick them in the air fryer usually around 20 mins or possibly less

They come out golden brown and taste delicious besides very healthy

Also try airfrying a piece of salmon instead of cod , find a cheap portion in the supermarket, if that's possible, and make a home made batter and again springle with some spices

Heres the chip recipe , the picture is like the ones i have

I couldn't find the batter recipe for the salmon , but here is one close to mine but in breadcrumbs

A lot cheaper than the chip shop and healthier without the grease , plus it might add a few years for you

I actually prefer the salmon and chips version than cod, it has more flavour and is much healthier

I think moderation is more the thing.I am rubbish at it though.

Fish is great for the brain which may have some bearing on this gentlemans claim. The fact that he realises that everything in moderation has also proved beneficial. Often the reasons for longevity are genetics but also discourse and lifestyle.

My father passed away at age 101 after living a very active life.He was a cycle racing champion, a D Day veteran and in his later years, he was king of the ballroom dance floor.His secret was to keep fit which paid off. I don't remember him being a fish and chip fan more a roast beef and Yorkshire pudding man!
