World's Oldest Man Shares Health Secrets

Forget drinking from the Fountain of Youth. Walter Breuning, believed to be world's oldest man, has a different strategy to keep himself kicking.

According to a New York Daily News story, Breuning recently celebrated his 113th birthday on September 21st. He also revealed his secrets to staying young: Skip dinner, work hard and don't eat at restaurants.

Breuning, who lives at the Rainbow Retirement Community in Great Falls, Montana, says he skips dinner and instead eats a big breakfast and a big lunch, including lots of fruit and a daily dose of baby aspirin to keep his heart healthy. He also believes in a strong work ethic: Breuning worked for Great Northern Railway until he was 66 years old. After that, he went on to serve as manager and secretary for his local Shriner's Club until he was 99 years old. And finally, Breuning only eats at home, never out at restaurants.

Whether it's the diet and work ethic, good genes or a combination that's allowed Breuning to live such a long life, we'll never know. But what we do know is that the man knows how to celebrate a birthday: At his 113th, Breuningcelebrated with two cakes (chocolate and vanilla) and his favorite meal, liver and onions.
