A 105-year-old widow from the UK has revealed that her secret to a long life is a daily regimen of Marmite on toast for breakfast and two glasses of sherry before bed.
Joan Prince, who recently celebrated her 105th birthday surrounded by family, said her mother used to spread the Marmite very thickly, something she still does today. She also swears by her evening sherry, claiming it helps her sleep.
Prince has lived through five monarchs, 28 prime ministers, two world wars and the recent Covid-19 pandemic. She says these two simple rituals are the only things she does regularly to maintain her health.
While many might raise an eyebrow at the combination, Joan insists it has served her well. She quipped that people are not supposed to spread Marmite as thickly as she does, but it clearly has not harmed her.
