Good wine is daily elixir for oldest twin brothers

By Reuters in Ghent, Belgium | China Daily | Updated: 2015-08-13 07:53

Eating in moderation, drinking a glass of good wine every day and avoiding chasing women are the secrets of a long life, say Belgians Pieter and Paulus Langerock, the world's oldest living twin brothers.

Born on July 8 1913, the brothers have lived together for most of their lives and to this day barely leave each other's side, sharing a room at their nursing home just outside the Belgian town of Ghent.

"There isn't much advice I can give. Don't waste your time fooling around, don't eat too much, and don't run after women," said Paulus, seamlessly switching between French and Dutch, the country's main languages, as well as the local Ghent dialect.
