World's oldest man puts it down to potatoes

The world’s oldest man, who recently turned 116, puts his longevity down to a diet of potatoes and healthy outdoor living.

Hryhory Nestor from the Ukraine is presumed to be the world’s oldest living man. His passport, based on Austrian documents, says he was born on 15 March 1891.

The Ukrainian attributes his long life to healthy outdoor living, and recommends a diet of potatoes, milk and cheese.

While we suggest low-fat versions of milk and cheese, potatoes are an essential part of our diet, providing complex carbohydrates to fuel our brains and bodies, and giving us the energy we need.
