Well, this is a new one! Usually you hear something like vegetables, long walks and wine as the keys to a long, healthy life. But, not for Theresa Rowley of Grand Rapids, MI who just turned 104. She says the secret to her long life is Diet Coke. (Great news if you’re a big fan!)

She drinks at least one can a day because, “I like it. I’m going shopping Wednesday and I need to buy more Diet Coke. I have a bag full of empty Diet Coke cans that I need to return to buy more Diet Coke.” Whether its true or not, we like her commitment to the role!
