Upstater oldest man
Forget the apple. It’s a banana a day that will keep you alive.
That and six daily Anacin tablets are the longevity secrets of an upstate 112-year-old newly crowned as the world’s oldest man.
Salustiano “Shorty” Sanchez-Blazquez won’t boast about his age.
“He says, ‘I’m an old man, and let’s leave it at that,’ ” said daughter, Irene Johnson, 69. His daughter doesn’t believe the secret to his longevity is the banana.
“I think it’s just because he’s an independent, stubborn man,” she said.
