Her daughter, Maxie, suggested that she try green banana.<\/p>\n<p>The woman said she recovered and has continued eating green banana every day since, usually alongside fish and particularly salmon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreen banana, that is the secret,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Her comments reflect her personal experience and should not be interpreted as medical evidence that green banana can treat diarrhoea or guarantee longevity.<\/p>\n<p>But food was only part of the wisdom she shared.<\/p>\n<p>Asked what lessons she would give someone in their early twenties, the centenarian urged young people not to \u201csell yourself\u201d or become carried away by flattering words. She encouraged them to be themselves and prioritise their education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe yourself. Go to school,\u201d she advised.<\/p>\n<p>She also reflected on her earlier life, describing her mother as a very strict woman and remembering someone she called \u201cthe best man in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe times we had together, they were not just good, but you can&#8217;t repeat,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n<p>Cuts By Antonio shared the birthday conversation online, describing it as a pleasure to have her visit and celebrate the milestone while allowing viewers to hear some of the wisdom she has accumulated over a century.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tg-source-video\" style=\"margin:1.25rem 0;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DdXhSD0NQkr\/embed\" width=\"400\" height=\"560\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DdXhSD0NQkr\/?stkn=MTE5ano5M3cwcm13Zg==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the original video on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tg-source-credit\"><em>Article and image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DdXhSD0NQkr\/?stkn=MTE5ano5M3cwcm13Zg==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">instagram.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>100-year-old woman reveals green banana as one secret behind her long and healthy life<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-trinidad-and-tobago"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tringlobe.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
