For the last several years, various reports have suggested that people are living longer and healthier lives. Better diets and improved medical care have been at the forefront of this trend.

While our researching one of our classmate Agshin told us about his grandmother who is 102 years old. Then we consulted amoung us and decided to visit Agshin's village and his granny. When told we were off to Lerik to see a long liver, we weren't sure what to expect. Here in the countryside of Azerbaijan there is no heavy industry and everyone we met seems to eat healthy, home-produced food. When we arrived she was busy making butter by rocking milk in a heavy earthenware jar.We talked a long and we asked the secret of her age. "I was never afraid of hard-working, I have eaten only organic fruits and vegetables, low fat cheese or yoghurt and home produced food during my life. I always worked in the garden so ,planted trees, vegetables and then I baked bread in the oven. Every day I brought water with pitcher from the spring.I am still very active and feel well."

Then we continued our explore on Internet. So we got more informaton about "How to live to reach to 100."
