I'll be 90 June the 8th and am still active as I was at 60. My problem is that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up!

My Granny is 90 years old, still gardens, drives and moves furniture. She told me the secrets are "Make yourself happy," "Don't let a husband drive you to the grave," and "Don't lay in the bed all day. Get up and do something." Love her!

I am 94. I enjoy life because of the internet. I keep socially in contact with all my family and friends. I keep up with all that is happening nationally and internationally, and delve into different subjects every day. My opinions are shaped by having remembered events and people over a long period of time. I am grateful to my God for having the chance to experience all that I have. Good and bad. I sincerely believe this earthly experience is another great episode in our journey into the eternities. When I consider the six and one half billion of us on earth today, I am reminded that there are countless molecules that make up matter. I don't know how much longer I will live, but I do know I am a happy camper.

My DAD is 103 years old and still holding!!! He just had a Birthday in MAY, 2022. THANK YOU GOD. AMEN ❤️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗👍

My grandmother was also born in 1918, which is the year one of the women interviewed was born. She's still alive in 2021. She'll turn 103 this year.

I turned 90 in April, always ate anything I wanted, never dieted, drink moderately, lifts heavy things, still drives with good driving skills and keep very active, in an organization I started, but slowing down a bit. Was active in Politics after my husband passed away and accomplished a lot of things in my community as the first woman mayor and councilperson. I feel that keeping very active is partly why I reached 90. No one believes that I am 90 years old.

Great content in your channel, I’m 53 and my wife and I reached $1M net worth in 2017, five years later it’s $2.4M. Our yearly salary is a little over $100K. We drive older cars, cook at home, eat leftovers, and have 2 in college. We saved for college and our boys help by working. They will graduate debt free.

My Tante (aunt) turned 95 yesterday and we love her so much. She’s sharp and vibrant and so lovely. Take care of your elders, they are a treasure.

My grandmother is still alive at 96, god bless everyone who lives that long

My grandpap is 106, still living at home by himself, my aunts and/or a nurse goes in to check on him daily. Still doing fine, can't hear much, and had his ticker replaced about 10 years ago. I never hear him complain about much. He just really appreciates simple things, reads the newspaper, likes the food he eats, coffee with milk and lots of water.

The seniors in this documentary look and act healthy and fantastic for their ages! Love it!

#1 factor not mentioned. They stayed busy. They didn’t give up. They stayed active. I think that’s the secret. Never retire.

My father just passed at 98. He was strong & sharp right up to the end. He played golf up until he was 95 and shot below his age. I was lucky to have him as long as I did. Love you, Dad.

It’s a blessing to get to 70, 90 with your independence and your mind intact is a gift.

The idea of living forever is probably the scariest thought one could have.

I have watched this video three times and I have still come to the same conclusion. Happiness leads to a longer life.

My grandma was 97 when she passed. She was sharp until then, even doing her own taxes.

My mom lived until 102 and passed this past August. Her secret was eating healthy, daily green tea and staying active. She gave up power mall walking at 97 and deteriorated slowly after that. Stay active my friends.

One of the first things you notice for yourself in medical school when you first meet patients as a student is how poorly people treat their own health. Ignoring weight, eating habits, blood pressure, smoking, drugs, alcohol and especially denying one's own diagnoses like diabetes, thyroid disease, hypertension or pyorrhea is endemic. Being smart enough to take care of yourself when you're young is a big part of getting to be very old.

That old man with the convertible is cooler at 92 than I am at 22.

I was born in 1999 & I really want to live to the year 2100 so I could live in 3 centuries. Thanks for the pointers, wish me luck🤞

My grandma is 94 and still lives on her own and cooks and cleans. Her older brother, turned 104 last December...and still lives at home and stands up tall❤️

My Grandmommy passed at 90. She said the hardest part about getting old is that you watch all of your friends and family that were young with you pass away.

My grandmother was born in 1921 and is still going strong 💪🏻

When my 96 year old grandfather was asked how one lives to be 90+, he replied, "Getting old is easy... Just don't stop breathing." ... sounds reasonable. 🙂

I absolutely loved this story. I was blessed with being able to upgrade my computer and I was going to find a family in need with lots of children to give the old one to, but now I'm going to find a senior, over 70, who would love to have it.

im tryna make it to 90. Im in my late 20's right now

The key is Stress. This is what kills you.

My husband's grandfather ,in England, fell off his bike when he was 95. He blamed the bike and bought a new one. It is called optimism.

This is a beautiful segment-- not only on how to do legitimate research, but also highlighting our seniors. Well done, 60 Minutes

I resonated with the fear of Robert Duvalls character in Second Hand Lions when he worried about getting older. He was scared of “being useless”.. not the inability to enjoy simple pleasures, not loneliness, not even pain.. but being unable to give and provide.

I'm 24 and i couldn't remember the 3 words they asked her to recall later in the conversation lol

Terrific story! I am almost 79, live by myself, work-out with a twenty pound kettle bell, walk miles every week, take lots of courses, practically go broke buying books, and am aiming for expertise in the history of the Roman Empire. I am also learning Brazilian Portuguese as my daughter-in-law is from Brazil. I also skate and plan to learn to cross country ski as downhill now makes me worry. As it should. I have always been a terrible skier! For some reason, I look forward to birthdays because I see possibilities in each coming year.

I am a caregiver for the elderly! I enjoy working with them. I love listening to their stories and their sense of humor are amazing!

My grandmother lived to be 97. She died months after surgery due to a fall. Prior to her fall, she was mentally sharp. She ate what she wanted. Never held grudges. If she was upset with you, she told you to your face. After she told you about yourself, she let it go. She could, and in some cases would, cook you a meal. She read the newspaper everyday and did crossword puzzles. She used full fat butter to cook and bake, no margarine. She had a daily routine, which included "early to bed, early to rise." She is missed.

I’m 53 and can’t even recall what I did last week! What a wonderful and insightful piece of reporting. I always enjoy 60 minutes.

My wife father is 96 , he only eats enough and leaves room in his stomach , he eats 5 times a day; also going for walks every day.

How I wish my father lived longer. He passed away when he was just 60, I was only 11 at that time. He was an alcoholic and smokes like there’s no tomorrow. Caused of death? Lung cancer and leukemia. We don’t had much of good memories, lots of sadness and fighting in our house. It was really chaotic. 🙌🏻 Now that Im 35, trying my best to live a healthier life to travel the world. ✈️

Several of these people look like they are much closer to 70. The guy in the blue shirt and glasses looks like he's maybe 65 at most.

My grandmother lived to be 99. She lived on her own and cooked and kept care of her house. She was once a pack a day smoker but quit in her 70's. She finished each day with what she called a "highball" which consisted of Early Times and water over ice. She had a part time job just for fun doing accounting work using Quicken. She commented "all my friends are dead". She was still mentally sharp at her age. Three days after her 99th birthday, she died quickly. I'm glad I visited her on her birthday.

Who wants to live until their 90s in a world like it is today 2022⁉️

Kudos to the authors of this item. This write up deserves utmost commendation. Living past our 90s is remarkable. Please keep up the good work.

What most of them have in common I see is they are almost all still reading, reading keeps the mind going.

My grandmother is 95 years old. Lives alone in her home and until 2 years ago still drove her car to run errands. She has a sense of humor that would make anyone blush. Her secrets, she will tell you are, eating well, staying connected with friends, and loving everyone as they are. ❤ I love my grandma.

Alcohol (1 drink a day), 3 cups of coffee everyday, socializing with friends, moderate exercise, and a being a little bit overweight is the best of all worlds for living longer.

My family member had no major health problems at age 96 but was brought down by a medication that should not be given to older people. It affected her brain and stopped her kidney function and she died. Before all this occurred, she read books, did crossword games, walked 40 times up and down the sidewalk, and she fell on concrete but did not break any bones. She never had dementia. She never drank alcohol but did drink one cup of coffee a day. Can I learn from her?

To be fair, I've forgotten what day it is at this point into 2020.

This was facinating. It would be interesting if 60 Minutes did another segment in a year or so to follow up at Laguna Woods.

I am just coming up to 91and am still doing 100km per week on my road bike, defiantly still wearing my Lycra. I cycled in my youth, played squash until age 70, and have been cycling regularly since.

My dear mother passed away last month at the age of 94. It was heart breaking to see her decline during the past year and I am still heart broken.

A sense of humor , all the people I have known that lived past 90 had a great sense of humor!

Am 76 and active! Walk up that darn hill every day and buy myself a coffee to celebrate. I forget a lot of things but keep thinking and it usually pops up when I go to bed and just before I sleep.

I am 91, almost 92, and from physical and health appearances have another 10 years at least to go. I take no regular prescriptions and am not thin or too chubby. I believe we are what we eat. I cook full family size meals, freezing leftovers. and eat fried foods, gravy, etc. regularly. I walk 20 minutes a day and do all my own housework, still drive, use my computer daily, and do crosswords, etc. I have friends and we see each other regularly. I have suffered great loss, losing both my children and a long term abusive marriage. I am a survivor by nature. I also believe genes play an important role.

I'm watching this amazing 60 minutes documentary from Kenya in East Africa. My paternal grandpa lived to 102 years, his brother, kuka Johnson Anyoba died at 103 years ..on my mother's side, my maternal grandma lived to 95 years.. My dad is 93 this year. Mom is 83. I am so blessed!

I just realized that this documentary took in 2014, it has been 6 years and I hope they all still here :'(

I am so happy for their longevity of age it is a miracle, keep it moving people!

My grandfather will be 95yo soon. We made him stop driving a year ago due to vision. He's now requesting a bike to get around the city or at least a motor scooter.

My uncle just died a couple weeks ago at 99 years old, he was a ww 2 vet and a great guy, he gave tons of money to the homeless organizations in his area to help feed them, the WW 2 generation was truly a "great generation"

I have a gig where I sing with a cabaret pianist who is 93 years old. Although she has a hard time getting around (she uses a walker and a wheelchair) her mind is as sharp as a tack. She can play for 4 hours from memory and never repeat the same song...and correct my words if I flub up. I think its the music that keeps her sharp and she had been able to do what she loves for nearly 71 years.

My grandma June was always a proper lady then my grandpa died and her sense of humor came to the surface. She was awesome. So was my grandpa. I miss them both

My mother is a retired nurse and she said the hard part is that she outlived all her friends. I love mom ❤

Imagine going into a retirment community in your 50's and still being there 40 years later...

They're also not talking about 1 major thing... FINANCIAL SECURITY. All of the people in this study had financial security.

In my hiking club, we have a 93 year old hiker. He is inspiration.

I’m so glad you guys did this segment. My Dad is 86 and found this very inspiring and motivating. Thank you!

I am a nurse and I love taking care of the elderly. I learn a lot from them. They have a lot of interesting stories to tell! 💖

Lou does NOT look like he's in his 90's! Incredible.

This is such an amazing video! We get to understand what people who've reached the age of 90 and what they normally do which allowed them to live longer such as staying active by walking and leisure activites. We love how they discussed socializing with others as a part of healthy aging because it plays a role in your wellbeing. Maintaining good and healthy relationships boost your mental and emotional health. It also minimizes the risks of loneliness. Success really does leave clues. Thank you so much for sharing these with all of us, you remind us of everyone here in Reviving Mind, the people we help and the health and wellness coaches.

My grandmother played bridge till the day she died at 100. On my birthday no less. Miss you, Grandma!

My grandfather is 98 and he's pretty miserable. The love of his life died after 75+ years of marriage and he's outlived all his friends. It has really effected him deeply. He still has his family, but its just not the same without my grandma by his side.

My grandma was 94 when she passed from a case of untreated pneumonia in a nursing home. She never kept a phone or a black book, all important numbers, names & birthdates were in her head. Her memory was better than mine when I was in my 20’s. When I asked her how she did it, she said do eat & drink everything but don’t over do anything. Miss her ❤️

That was a great 60 minutes!😍😍.Very insightful of living in your 90s plus years.lt made me miss my grandparents even more...they always brought a lot of joy&laughter in my life.

My grandma’s 96 and her brothers were in a band with Willie Nelson before her brother Stan had a stroke. The stories she tells are amazing.

My father is 99 years old, and will be 100 in August. He had me in his 60s. The past 6 or so years have been the hardest as far as his declining health and mobility is concerned, but I am grateful and blessed that he has been with us all these years and I visit whenever I can! Love you pops!

I hope to live as long as possible, as long as no one has to take care of me. I love seeing all the new advances in our world! Who wouldn’t?

Thank you,Leslie .2022. It helped me. I'm 65 my birthday is in 12 days and I have been working on myself. Not perfect but hope is wonderful!!✌

My father is 62 years old and still plays full court basketball with men many a third his age. I went to one of his games and he collided with another player sending them both sprawling. The result was a dislocated shoulder. My dad, on the other hand, was uninjured.

They all didn’t seem to have any stress. I wish they would have discussed sleep patterns & stress.

I just keep thinking of that episode in smallville were the elder gentleman fell into a pond and came out young. We need to find that pond and cure aging.

I'm a healthy 62. My mom is 90. Honestly, I don't want to live that long. I would hope to go between 80-85. I watch my mom whose friends have almost all passed away. Mom still drives, But he's very unsteady on her feet so hobbles about holding onto everything in her path. She seems to make a weekly run in circles to the pharmacy and doctors, although this may be serve more a function of giving her something to do as she's very healthy. I rather suspect those who have children may feel they want to stick around. Anybody else feel this way? I am loving my life living it the best I ever have - - practicing a simple life.

We got a lady in the neighborhood. 95, lives alone, and still drives.

My parents live in Leisure World. It's a Mini Blue Zone. All the seniors there are living it up, it's like high school again. My mom says, "I'm popular". Lol

I am a teacher and run a pool service. I have a pool customer that is 96. The guy has a huge yard and he is up everyday working on it. He also cleans the pool everyday and does it well! He was also a teacher, administrator and superintendent. He gives me GREAT advice. He is better than any therapist I could ever talk to! I asked him the secret to his longevity and he said, “I had a mild heart attack when I was 52, that was the turning point for me.” He said, “stress less, don’t sweat the small stuff and try not to care about things you can’t control.” It sounds simple, but this is what kills us, because we don’t generally live by it. I have a vintage Porsche that I tinker with and he does too! He drives it almost everyday. It’s almost as if we were aligned for some reason. He is a good man and my friend, even though he is 96 and I am 39.

I work with 65 and up, most are in their late 80s, 90s, and some are over 100. They all have some things in common. Many drink tea, exercise, maintain a social life, drink wine, are spiritual, keep up with current events, and most importantly, tried new hobbies/activities every decade of their life. Some even take classes after their 80s, changed careers.

Anyone else think that these people would be really fun to hang out with? I could totally be friends with any of them.

It’s a blessing if you live to 90 with no health complications & you have your family around. 🙏🏻

My dad lived to be 94, meat and potatoes and no excercise and smoked for 65 years. My aunt died 3 months before her 100th birthday, she always said she wanted to make it to 100. I turn 70 today and stay active everyday. Right now I'm in the process of rebuilding a 1981 RV and have owned a 1956 Chevy for 51 years now. I also play drums and am a fine artist.

My mother-in-law came to me when she knew she was dying. I had a new born at that time. They were on different schedules. I slept an hour here and there. As mad as it was, looking back in time, that is my fondest memory of the family. We shared stories.

I believe socializing is a big part of staying happy and healthy

My grandad lived to 104. The reason I believe was genes he had 9 brothers and sisters that all lived long lives. But what also helped was that he loved life and never worried or stressed himself out. I miss him. Carl Nelson 1903-2007

I love the comment section on this video. Learning so much ! i'm 35 and feel exhausted every day due to being overweight and working so hard.

Aww, I used to deliver flowers to Leisure World in my 40’s. Now, I’m 55 and just purchased a business from a 90 year old interior designer who just retired! She is still sharp as a tack ❤️

Jesus that man that had the stroke is living his best life still at 90+!!!!!!

I’m in my 30s and I did’t remember the words either.

My mom will be 90 in November her mind is great !

My mom dad and grandparents all passed in their 90s. No junk food no fast food home-cooked meals only. Definitely a good amount of olive oil and vegetables 🥕 were a big part of their diet. You’ll never see some of their 90s overweight you need to take care of yourself.

My grandma passed away just shy of her 103rd birthday! My grandfather (her husband) lived till 97. Mind you, those last years weren't the greatest, but they both were sharp as tacks at their passings, and had both lived amaaaaazing lives, and WE, their grandchildren, have reaped the benefits of those lives!

That one man, Lou, doesn’t look 93 at all. Great genes!

Awesome topic,love those seniors being happy and active at 90 over years old. Great topic to looking forward to rich that age.
