Bolivian says ancient Andean diet has kept him alive for 123 years

FRASQUIA, Bolivia ? Bolivian indigenous farmer Carmelo Flores, who could be the oldest person to have ever lived, attributes his longevity to quinoa grains, riverside mushrooms and around-the-clock chewing of coca leaves.

Speaking in the 4,000-meter high hamlet where he lives in a straw-roofed hut, Flores says the traditional Andean diet has kept him alive for 123 years.

"Potatoes with quinoa are delicious," said Flores in Aymara, the only language the nearly deaf man speaks.

It is impossible to verify Flores' age as the poor, landlocked South American country only started issuing official birth certificates in 1940.

But he says his baptism certificate lists his birthday as July 16, 1890 and he has national identity documents based on the certificate.

Bolivia's Civil Registry Office says it is looking into the validity of the documents and cannot comment until the investigation is completed.

Still, many in Bolivia are already celebrating Flores' longevity. A local government official plans to award him the title of "Living Heritage of Humanity" on August 26.

No proof he is really that old makes this story kinda pointless

quinoa is really tasty.

They have disproved so many previous claims that there is no way to take this one seriously.

Nice. I guess living long really does make you a medical researcher, geneticist and accomplished gerontologist, fully qualified to make such proclamations.

I wonder what he does all day? Just sits around his mud hut?

Wouldn't that be boring?

Would dropping dead be more exciting?

And sitting all day in front of your computer is somehow better?

Plenty of things to see and do in nature, like farm or fuck goats. Both can keep you busy.

god know, maybe he really enjoy...

Just had a daily heaping bowl of rice, quinoa and about 12 vegetables and some meat. 123 here I come, hah.
