Longevity Recipe: World’s Oldest Man Swears By Weekly Fish, Chips, and…

The world’s oldest man attributes his longevity to luck, moderation, and enjoying fish and chips every Friday. Englishman John Alfred Tinniswood, aged 111, has officially been recognized as the new record holder by Guinness World Records.

This designation comes following the passing of the previous titleholder, 114-year-old Juan Vicente Pérez from Venezuela, earlier this month. Gisaburo Sonobe from Japan, who held the next longest lifespan, passed away on March 31 at the age of 112.

Tinniswood received his Guinness World Records certificate on Thursday at the care facility where he resides in Southport, northwest England. Born in Liverpool on August 26, 1912, just a few months after the sinking of the Titanic, Tinniswood lived through two world wars and served in the British Army Pay Corps during World War II.

The retired accountant and great-grandfather emphasized the importance of moderation for maintaining a healthy life. He abstains from smoking, seldom indulges in alcohol, and doesn’t adhere to any particular diet, except for enjoying a fish and chip supper once a week.

“If you drink too much or you eat too much or you walk too much — if you do too much of anything — you’re going to suffer eventually,” Tinniswood told Guinness World Records.

But ultimately, he said, “it’s pure luck. You either live long or you live short, and you can’t do much about it.”

Maria Branyas Morera, a 117-year-old woman from Spain, holds the title of the world’s oldest woman and the oldest living person.
