Branyas told the Guinness World Records website she believed her longevity stemmed from “order, tranquility, good connection with family and friends, contact with nature, emotional stability, no worries, no regrets, lots of positivity and staying away from toxic people”.

From the link:

The conclusion was made on the basis of the analysis of the association's social security scheme (SSS) with 5,500 doctors from Maharashtra and over 10,000 from across the country (India) registered.

And the doctor in the article [photo don't look like a doctor from India.

I agree with Maria.

Or only deal with toxic people on here especially those who ask of you a question, you answer the question, then they say:

Why did you not answer my question?

Thank you. I figured this topic was just a wind for the anti-Allopathic squad to chime in but I guess they're still busy with morning yoga.

I look at science. Many gps just want money. Fasting, being positive, meat extends life.

Ask Dr. Science was a daily humorous radio sketch produced by members of the comedy troupe Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre.

The show's motto is "He knows more than you do." The sketch always concludes with the disclaimer that he is "not a real doctor," although Dr. Science insists he has "a Master's Degree... in science!"

Stress would shortern life. Toxic people create stress too.

George Burns was famously known for his witty and irreverent remarks about doctors, particularly in relation to his lifelong habits of smoking cigars and drinking martinis.

• When asked in his late 90s if his doctor knew he still smoked cigars, Burns replied, "No... he's dead." This quip became one of his most iconic lines, reflecting his sharp humor and defiance of medical advice.

• He also famously said, "If I had taken my doctor’s advice and quit smoking when he advised me to, I wouldn’t have lived to go to his funeral."

AI Gemini:

George Burns did not inhale his cigars, a detail often highlighted when discussing his longevity despite his smoking habit. He was famous for smoking, but he famously kept the smoke in his mouth, which is a common practice among cigar smokers to enjoy the flavor without drawing the smoke into the lungs.

He also sad that the cigars were mainly a stage prop:

The Burns and Allen act was a marvel of natural ingenuity. Burns was the perfect feeder, asking questions with growing incredulity and punctuating the laughs with puffs of his cigar. Gracie's replies seemed to come out of a hole in her head.
