Perth woman reveals simple secret to living to 100
By Tahnee Graham
Eat your veggies, fruit twice a day, and always stay positive. According to Elsie Cotton, that is the secret to living to 100.
Ms Cotton marked her 100th birthday last month, surrounded by family and friends who gathered from around the country to celebrate the milestone.
Ms Cotton told PerthNow that she credited healthy eating and always looking on the bright side for helping her make it into the centenarian’s club.
“When I cook for myself, which I do often, I always make sure I have five veggies and fruit at lunch and dinner,” she said. “I’ve got a positive mind as well, I never let things get me down. . . my cup is always half full, it’s never half empty.”
