Now I've heard; don't smoke, don't drink, eat natural foods, get lots of exercise...but I've never heard "avoid men" if you want to live a long life. That's what the oldest living woman in Scotland has to say about longevity.

109 year-old Jessie Gallan, who has never been married, told a local newspaper:

"secret to a long life has been staying away from men. They're just more trouble than they're worth."

The Huffington Post put in their report:

Last year, a national survey of centenarians in the United States found that the secrets to long life include plenty of time with friends and family and a commitment to fitness.

So basically, to sum it all up, don't smoke, don't drink, eat natural foods, get lots of exercise and avoid stressful people, whatever gender they may be.
