Seniors can come in many forms but the ones I want to discuss are the ones who have reached a very old age. Did they have a secret remedy for longevity? It could have been their diets, since there were no fast food restaurants back in the early days. They lived on foods from their gardens and livestock and fish. I read an article saying that some of them ate a lot of pork, especially pork hocks which is said to be good for the heart.Our acadian ancestors ate a lot of acadian dishes such as chicken fricot, boiled dinners, codfish, baked beans, blood pudding .Butter was said to be good for the kidneys. Could the hard work have helped them in living old,remember that they had to haul water from springs, dig wells, garden,etc. Now this is going back a long way, but even today's seniors had to raise families, and work. Could longevity run in the family? I read somewhere that the oldest person living was a lady named Mrs Jeanne Calment, she came from Arles France and she lived to be 122 years. Her father died at age 94 and her mother at age of 86.Can you imaging living that old?
Next I would like to share with you names for certain milestones.
A person who lives to be over 100 years is called a SUPERCENTENARIAN.
A person who lives to be 100 is called a CENTENARIAN
A person who lives to be 90 to 99 is called a NONAGENARIAN
So come with me and meet some of these remarkable seniors, I am only adding the ones age 95 and over, I shall add some stories, photos, and obituaries when possible. I shall add Acadians, Cajuns and French Canadians if I have any.
