One hundred eleven-year-old Japanese teetotaller Tomoji Tanabe was presented yesterday with a certificate from Guinness Book of World Records by Japan’s city mayor naming him the oldest living man. Tanabe celebrates his birthday on September 18.

The article from Yahoo! says

The Japanese are among the world’s longest-lived people, with 28,395 people aged 100 or above in Japan at the end of September last year, according to the Health Ministry. Researchers have attributed the phenomenon to factors including healthy diet and tight-knit communities.

Do we have a chance of breaking this feat? But how will you expect Filipinos not to drink alcohol and don’t smoke at the same time?
