Walter Breuning the oldest man of the world celebrated his 114th birthday this year on September 21. (oldest verified person in the world) There have been only 5 verified men to reach 114 or more years of age. Just imagine being retired for over 50 years. What sound advice does he have for us? Plenty.
Having lived at the Rainbow Retirement and Assisted Living Center in Great Falls, Montana for the last 30 years, Breuning is in excellent health, even after a lifelong habit of smoking cigars, completely quitting in 1999. He is able to walk, and eats two meals a day. He still maintains a sharp mind and accurate memory. For example, he can remember his grandfather talking about his experiences in the American Civil War when he was three years old, and remembers the day President William McKinley was shot as the day “I got my first haircut”. He has no prescription medications. In November 2007, at the age of 111, Breuning was fitted with hearing aids.
