Fat & Beer

August 23, 2007 - 2:00 PM by

Wanna enjoy longevity? Live to, say, 105 or maybe longer? Then bust out the beer and get over to the butcher’s for a side of heavy-on-the-fat beef.

That was the secret to Avraham Gershkowitz’s long life. Don’t know who he is?

According to Life in Israel, he’s a Ramat Gan man who died last week at 105.

His secret tip: Drink beer and eat fatty red meat. No kidding.

You know how whenever they find a real old person they ask him/her what the secret of their longevity is? You know how these old people always give answers like a glass of milk a day, or no smoking, or eating broccoli or no alcohol or boring stuff like that that make you unsure of whether it is actually worth living that long if you have to give up all those bad things?

…Well, they asked (before he died) Gershkowitz what the secret to his longevity is.

…Fatty red meat. A glass of beer. The secret to a long life. He said eating fatty red meat and drinking beer was the secret to his long life. Someone who lives well, will live long.

Wow. That’s do-able.
