Maisie Streng lives just contrary to what experts advise. She does not live up to the recommendations of doctors, she does not take any medications, and she has reached an age of 102.
The woman we started talking about is a grandmother that lives in Glasgow and she has just celebrated her 102nd birthday.
For 75 years now she has been smoking about twenty cigarettes a day. However, smoking is not her only bad habit.
Another habit of hers is drinking a glass of wine every night before going to sleep. However, she stops at one glass. According to her son, Sandy (65), another of her vices is eating bananas, a thing she does in a fanatical way.
She has worked as a secretary of the editor of ‘Daily Express’, a period when she has been smoking most heavily. She recalls that she has been constantly smoking while working with her typewriter.
The habit of eating bananas originates from this period. Due to the deadlines, Maisie did not have the opportunity to go and eat a lunch, so one of the easiest and quickest meals she could afford were bananas, and the consumption of this fruit has become a habit of hers she has kept.
Maisie has started smoking when she was a teenager. The only break she has made from this bad habit was while she was hospitalized because she had broken a bone in her thigh. This happened in her nineties, and the break only lasted for five weeks.
Once she left the hospital and came back to her home’s comfort, she returned to cigarettes and Chardonnay right away.
Sandy claims that his mother’s way of living is paradoxical, because there are numerous people who only smoke for a short period of time and face a great deal of health issues because of smoking, which is not the case of his mother.
Maisie lost her husband long ago, even though, according to her, he had always been in a good shape. He had been working as a sports teacher and he did not smoke. Still, he died at the age of 65.
Luckily, even though Maisie smokes, she does not have any health issues. She does not even take any medicines, says Sandy.
