103-year-old man defies the years with natural nutrition

Beşir Sünger, who lives in the Bezge neighborhood of the Yayladağı district, is officially listed as born in 1929 on his ID, but his family says the elderly man is actually 103 years old. Beşir Sünger, whose wife passed away after contracting Covid-19, did not even visit a hospital during the pandemic. The elderly man, who spent his days in the past engaged in worship, does not give up his prayers despite losing his hearing and suffering from age-related forgetfulness. Having never smoked in his life, Sünger has also never allowed anyone to smoke in his presence.

“My father’s secret to longevity is care and eating natural foods”

Stating that his father’s secret to longevity is care and eating natural foods, Nuri Sünger said, “My father is 103 years old. My father was born in 1929 according to his ID, but they registered him 5 to 6 years younger. My father wakes up in the morning and has his breakfast. He performs his prayers and worships a lot. My father eats natural things. He eats things like cheese, milk, dried figs, molasses, and grapes. We took him to the hospital, but we brought him back. He won't get in an ambulance. He doesn't use needles or pills. My mother suddenly had shortness of breath and her Covid test came back positive. My mother died of Covid. My father stayed in the same room as my mother, but my father did not get Covid. We were surprised by this situation. Because he was in the same room and breathed the same air as my mother, but he did not get Covid. He has never smoked in his life. He hates those who smoke. He doesn't get vaccinated, doesn't get in an ambulance, and doesn't go to the hospital. My father’s secret to longevity is care and eating natural foods.”
