A century of history during one of the most eventful hundred years of human advancement is a lot to keep up with.

For example, they pay their bills entirely online. On a more fun note, they play computer games and make full use of their iPhones. They do receive some help from great-grandson, Darvell Green, who lives with them to provide backup for medications, groceries, and cooking meals. In general, he also just watches over them in case they need help. But they have words about their advanced age as well, not just all the fun to be had with this new technology available.

The fountain of youth isn’t what people expected

“If I live to be 100, I’d love to be in their state,” said Green, 27. “I always ask (my great-grandmother) all the time: What do you do to stay so healthy and live so long? She never really goes into detail about anything, but she always says she drinks her wine.”

Beyond that, when asked how they’ve lived so long, Foster only offers, “I haven’t the slightest idea. I don’t know how I happened to live as long as I have.” Lowe expressed a similar sentiment with “I have not the vaguest idea.” Enjoyment has been in no short supply, though. Foster enjoys a breakfast of bacon and eggs each morning, then a glass of wine that’s “not too sweet and it’s not bitter.”

The two do endure arthritis. However, experts in genetics and aging attribute their longevity to just the right combination of genes that promotes slow aging and combats age-related negative conditions. Even though she defies aging, Foster does get an annual checkup at her doctor’s office and adds, “I think everybody should.” Do you know anyone who’s defying the aging process?
