A 116 year old Ukrainian, who is one of the oldest living people, attributes his longevity to two things: celibacy and being stupid.
Hryhoriy Nestor, has never had a wife, and as a Christian has practised the philosophy of no sex before marriage.
"According to my Christian beliefs there is no sex before marriage, so I never had a wife." He went on to say that people who get married spend all the time arguing. He also believes that leading a simple life leads to longevity.
"People, who know too much always come to a nasty end. better to stay stupid and not wonder too much about anything."
Nestor used to work as a shepherd of goats.
It would make an interesting self help book. "The Secrets of Long-life: Celibacy and Stupidity" - but I can't see it selling too many copies...
