“Eat for nutrition, not for taste.” I need to remember that.

The Grandma who said she's been taking a shot of Hennessey every day since 1972 looks amazing! I LOVE HER and want her sweater 💜

[danielmcallister]

I love seeing elderly people who still have the spark of life in their eyes ❤️

[Skorpia]

I've work in a nursing home 21 years. These residents that still have their minds never change their personality. So these fantastic wome along with the men too that are like them in terms of energy. They are funny, sarcastic, sharp, they do puzzles and love learning new things. Life goes on. Your body slows down but your mind and your life is still what you make it.

"If you don't use it, you're gonna lose it." So true! Love this series. xx

Some of them don't even look 100. The black lady could pass for a 70 something year old.

[pikachuuprising]

I pray to God that my mom reaches this age.

[chauniquemartinez]

I guess I need to take a shot of Hennessy lol

[behabtwa]

i love that the black lady got her edges laid :)

[emmansk]

The lady in the colored sweater looks under 100. And her story explains why. Love her

[boogaria]

The African American lady with the beautiful sweater is absolutely gorgeous. She has wonderful skin. It's obvious she takes really good care of herself.

They all have so much energy for elders, I love it!

[usedtiddyjuice]

1:05 looks like I'm living to a hundred, spaghetti is my favorite food and I can eat it every day

[krtlkid]

its amazing the fact these people are able bodied at such an age where most peoples bodies just gives out them.Way more energy these folks have than Ive seen in their 20s.

[aliciamack]

God bless these elderly women who are 100 and beautiful beyond

[huihohuiho]

Guys, no fast food, no sugary drinks, have exercise....make family....love your family..

[Eklectic_Afro]

These are the most beautiful people to me. So full of life.

[geoffjoffy]

They're absolutely terrific and look so healthy. Looks like laughing is the key too.

[dominiquecamara]

These ladies are my inspiration! Not sure why the title says "Marathon runner" though. Ida commits to a regular exercise routine and has set the record in her age group for the 100-m dash and the 60 m dash. She doesn't run marathons.

So basically eat whole foods, exercise, practice self love and self care and be fabulous. I can do that😊❤
