FOR LONGEVITY — Eat Herring

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – A Dutch woman who swears by a daily helping of herring for a healthy life, celebrated her 115th birthday Wednesday as the oldest living person on record. Hendrikje van Andel-Schipper, a former needlework teacher, was born in 1890.

The passionate soccer fan celebrated her birthday in a nursing home in the northern Dutch town of Hoogeveen.

“She eats a piece of herring every day because it’s good for the health,” said Johan Beijering, director of the Westerkim nursing home. “She is still mentally full of vitality.”
