You are what you eat- we have had heard this phrase so many times- however, some of us still wonder what it ideally means. Well, the right food can not only help you stay a bit, but it also increases your life span. And if you don’t believe us, you must believe Australia’s oldest man- Dexter Kruger. Dexter believes that says that his secret to longevity is chicken brains. Read on to know more about it.
As A Part Of His Diet, Dexter Kruger Eats Chicken Brains And Six Prawns
Dexter Kruger is 111 years old, and with that, he becomes the oldest man in Australia. And to celebrate his life, Kruger spoke to many interviews and shared his lifestyle secrets with the world. In an interview with The Associated Press, he said,
“You know, chickens have a head. And in there, there’s a brain. And they are delicious little things. There’s only one little bite.”
Well, not only chicken brains, but Dexter also eats six prawns daily, and both these things are a part of this diet. Dexter, the retired cattle rancher who lives in a nursing home, is a writer and is also working on his autobiography. Speaking about Dexter and his lifestyle, staff at the nursing home where he lives say that he is one of the sharpest residents.
If He Lives For 3 More Years, He Will Become Australia’s Longest-living Person Ever
“His memory is amazing for a 111-year-old,” Melanie Calvert, the nursing home manager, told The AP.
While Dexter thinks Chicken Brain is the key to his age, his 74-year-old son Greg credits his dad’s survival to his pure outback lifestyle. And if Dexter lives for a few more years, he will become Australia’s longest-living person ever. A woman named Christina Cook lived to be 114 years and 148 days old- she died in 2002. So Dexter surpasses her age, he will become Australia’s longest-living person.
