It would be astonishing to hear that cold showers may lead you to live long life. However, it’s true, as told by Edward Rondthaler, a 100 years old citizen of Croton-on-Hudson, New York. He walks half a mile every morning and drives also.
According to him, a long cold blast of water in the morning shower keeps him going. He likes to sing and write songs and can even donate blood.

c) Improvements in Public health, curable vaccines, clean water supply.
d) Increased longitivity of women.
Centenarian secrets:
