The 4 Not-So-Healthy Habits of the World's Oldest Person

And what she says "matters most in life", is something you'll love. Something you should also teach to your kids if you haven't already.

Meet Jeralean Talley, who this week, became the oldest person in the world. She lives in Michigan with her daughter but only since she turned 108. Up until then Jerelean had it under control herself. I'm completely in love with her swagger and I think you will too.

She does a little couch dance in this video from WXYZ-TV Detroit, and I also love how she likes her coffee.

See... the thing about Jerelean Talley is she has lived her own way, done her own thing and against conventional wisdom, she has some habits that wouldn't be considered 'healthy', and certainly not the kinds of things someone would tell you you shouldn't do if you want to live to be 115.

Here are four of Jerelean's not-so-healthy habits that stood out to me:

1. She watches A LOT of TV. Her daughter says her favorite shows are "Ellen" and "Wheel of Fortune".

2. She eats fast food. Her favorite things are Chicken McNuggets and Wendy's chili, and she's also a big potato salad fan (please tell me the secret to a long life is creamy mustard potato salad). To be fair though, she also eats a lot of fruit, vegetables, rice, and fish. And she started avoiding butter about ten years ago.

3. She lived alone for a long time. Her husband died in 1988, then she lived by herself for almost three DECADES until her daughter moved in to take care of her about seven years ago.

4. She gambles. Her daughter says she stays active by hitting the casino every now and then, and playing the slots.
