“Still Going Strong at 103-Years-Old
What is Margarete Jentschura’s Secret?
Editor’s note: We were amazed when we heard that Margarete Jentschura still visits her family owned health food store in Muenster, Germany every day – at 103 years old! So we asked her grandson, Roland Jentschura (MSc), how she manages this.
Vitality magazine: Hello Roland Jentschura; by now your grandmother is 103.5 old. Yet she still visits her health food store even at this advanced age. What is her story?
Roland Jentschura: My grandmother worked at our family-owned health food store until the age of 100, and then retired at 101. But she still goes there almost every day to talk with customers. As to the reasons for her remarkable longevity, one of her secrets is that she walks a lot! During her career as the store manager, she walked about one kilometer to the store, and one kilometer back, twice a day. She also walked a lot in the store. And she even enjoyed walking in her spare time. She walked every day and all day long! Walking ensures good blood circulation, which in turn supplies cells and tissues with oxygen and nutrients while removing acidic metabolic waste products. Regular movement considerably promotes lifelong regeneration. Today, many people tend to stand or sit on their way to and from work. But grandmother’s philosophy is: “The longer you sit, the sooner you quit – life!” Regular movement is important for a long life. My grandmother also did daily weight-bearing exercises.
