So what is the key to a long life?According to some doctors,diet,exercise and no smoking are the three important factors.Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips.She has always eaten a healthy diet,and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115.However,until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day,and she does smoke (now only a little).Besides,Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes(基因) from her parents.Her father lived to the age of 94and her mother to 86.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death.It must have seemed a good move at the time,but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house.Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:Sorry,I'm still alive!
