A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE
Some of the oldest people in the world are said to live in Azerbaijan. The most famous of all was Shirali Muslimov, who died on 2 September 1973 at the age of 168. Today, doctors do not think this is possible, but he was a very old man - probably nearer 120 than 160! Another person who was once the oldest person in the world was Kamato Hongo. She was born in 1887, in Japan, and died in 2003 at the age of 116. Kamato usually slept for two full days at a time and then was awake for two full days. She said to live a long life you mustn't 'think too much', and her favourite things were sugar, steak and green tea. Joan Riudavets Moll was born on 15 December 1889, on the Balearic Island of Menorca. He still lives there, spending up to 14 hours a day asleep. Riudavets really wanted to be a doctor but he became a shoemaker, working at home in the family business. He has three daughters in all, with five grandsons and six great-grandchildren. He rarely leaves his home. He thinks planes and electricity are the most important changes he has seen in his life. During his life he has played a lot of football - his favourite game - and still enjoys singing and playing the guitar. What does Joan Riudavets Moll say about living a long life? 'If you eat a little but often, you will live a long life.'
