In the heart of León, Teresa Fernández Casado, who is about to turn 112, has become an example of longevity and vitality in a fast-paced world. As the second oldest person in Spain, her life has turned into a lesson in resilience.
Recently, in an interview with Dr. Manuel de la Peña, a longevity expert, Teresa revealed the secrets that have allowed her to enjoy remarkable health. At 101, she suffered a blockage in a heart artery that led to her first hospital admission, where a stent was implanted. This intervention enabled her to resume her life with renewed energy.
Dr. de la Peña emphasized that age should not be a barrier to medical interventions and highlighted Teresa’s extraordinary mental capacity, as she retains a remarkable memory at her age. Her diet is based on vegetables and active habits, which include singing and dancing. Although she faces glucose intolerance, Teresa follows an insulin treatment and other medications that control her cholesterol and blood pressure levels.
Teresa’s life has been marked by overcoming challenges, having experienced difficulties such as losing vision in one eye due to an accident and the impact of the World Wars and the Spanish Civil War. Married at 18, she had nine children, of whom her eldest son, aged 93, is still living, and her daughters Manuela and Rosa care for her devotedly.
Her story has resonated strongly on social media, where a video in which she shares her tips for staying young has surpassed six million views. This virtual phenomenon highlights the growing interest in longevity and well-being in today’s society.
Spain has positioned itself as a leader in longevity, with a robust healthcare system and a Mediterranean diet in its favor, according to Dr. de la Peña. With a life expectancy above the European average and over 20,000 centenarians, the need to proactively address aging becomes evident.
Teresa has shown her ability to successfully adapt to a rigorous longevity test designed to promote healthy habits. At the threshold of her 112 years, she stands as a symbol of hope and vitality, reminding us that a positive spirit and healthy lifestyle choices are key to a long and meaningful existence.
