Apparently, if you choose to die alone, you could potentially live a longer life.

A 113-year-old man revealed his secret to a long life: “Never get married.”

Selvino Jesus de Oliveira was born in 1910 and joked with his family that the reason he has such a remarkable lifespan is that he’s never tied the knot.

The bachelor from Brazil just turned 113 in July 2023 and took a smiling birthday photo that showed him holding his ID with his date of birth.

Selvino was raised by his grandmother and never married or had children, and 50 years ago, he settled in Santa Izabel do Oeste, Parana state, Brazil, and hasn’t moved since.

He’s a fan of bocce — a local outdoor ball sport that’s similar to British lawn bowling — and even competed in the sport for years, but he no longer plays in his old age and he now enjoys watching as a supporter.

The retired basket maker claimed his single lifestyle is so low-stress that it prolonged his life by years — but a healthy diet is surely not part of his secrets to a long lifespan.

His favorite foods to eat include fatty lard with lots of meat, polenta, cassava and beans.

Despite the diet, Selvino’s family said he is in good health with the exception of some hearing problems which in turn lead to some issues communicating.
