I hope I look that good at 111!






Tomoji Tanabe was just officially crowned the world's oldest man by Guinness World Records.





How did he do it well he said he keeps a daily diary, drinks milk and stays away from alcohol and smoking.





The Japanese man was born September 18th 1895 and at 111 years old looks suprisingly good.

“He said he didn’t want to die,”
not to set more records but because he's enjoying life too much.

He isn't the oldest living person though, that title goes to a Japanese woman who is 114.

The number of Japanese living beyond 100 has almost quadrupled in the past 10 years, expected to exceed 28,000 this year. Experts often attribute the longevity to a Japanese diet rich in vegetables and fish.

I guess it's time to change our diet from Beer, Brats, and cheese!
