It's all in the diet. Isn't it?
She has thrived despite an unorthodox, unbalanced diet. "When I first knew her she used to eat three eggs a day. Two raw, and one fried. Today she has slowed down a bit, reducing the number to two some days because she says three can be too much," her doctor Carlo Bava told Reuters TV. "She has never eaten much fruit or vegetables. Her characteristic is that she always eats the same thing, every day, every week, every month and every year."Tomorrow, my mother turns 102 years of age. Her diet includes, well, everything. She's discovered tempura and sushi in the last year and craves them.

That puts her beginning back in the 19th century.
More than 1/2 the (official) age of the entire country.
The memories trapped in that brain.

A good appetite at 102?
That's a good sign!

A guy back in the '90s that I read about was interviewed at his 104th birthday and the interviewer asks, "To what do you attribute your longevity?" and the guy answers, "To the fact that I haven't died yet."
