People are always coming up with different ways to stay healthy and live as long as possible, but I don’t think that I’ve ever heard anyone say that onions are the key to immortality – when a 111 year old woman starts speaking up about their powers though, you should probably pay attention.

Daisy Bastin has had a fantastic innings and reckons that it’s all down to eating a load of vegetables:

I am very lucky in my life to have had such loyal friends and to still be in good health.

Onions keep me going. They’re good for the skin too.

I have great support from my friends and carers who come into my home and they have helped me to live a long and happy life.

I mean that seems a bit too simplistic really doesn’t it, but I suppose she does know what she’s talking about. Good news is that I regularly eat onions so I don’t really even have to do anything to change my diet or lifestyle and I’m pretty much guaranteed to live to be over 100 thanks to this. Excellent news.
