This 109-year-old woman shared her unconventional secret to a long life.
Jessie Gallan was 109 when she passed away in 2015, making her Scotland's officially oldest woman.
Reaching such an age automatically gives a person a sense of wisdom that not everyone achieves. This inspires those of younger generations to learn from their elders and get advice.
Before she passed, Ms. Gallan shared her secret to a long life and it wasn't what one might expect.
"My secret to a long life has been staying away from men. They're just more trouble than they're worth."
Yes, her main piece of advice was to stay away from men. She clearly lived by this rule as she never married.
Some people loved what she had to say.
