She has also written 40 books! Have you read any of her books? While many are on the subject of sexual health, she has even written children’s books and an autobiography.

Dr. Ruth said that she is lucky that she is healthy, but her secrets to longevity are to be interested in what you’re doing and what other people are doing. She also credits humor to her long life. She often tweets funny phrases to her followers. We are cracking up at her recent tweet above!

According to The New York Times, she said, “In the Jewish tradition, in the Talmud, it says, ‘A lesson taught with humor is a lesson retained.’ I could not tell you a joke, but I can use humor where it’s appropriate.”
