106-year-old and 103-year-old sisters share longevity tips: 'Be happy, be healthy, and have love in your life' (via CNBCMakeIt)
Shirley Hodes, 106, hasn't seen her little sister, Ruth "Ruthy" Sweedler, 103, in person since 2015. Visiting is difficult, since they live in different assisted living facilities thousands of miles apart — Hodes outside Asheville, North Carolina, and Sweedler outside Hartford, Connecticut — and neither is too mobile anymore.
But they insist on their individuality. She and her little sister aren't "very much alike at all," Hodes says. Sweedler "likes to boast." "Keep your body in good shape and your mind in good shape," says Sweedler. "Then you've got it made."Long before Fitbits or iPhones tracked you so you could see how close you come to hitting 10,000 steps a day, Hodes and Sweedler made a point of staying active.
Living in North Carolina, Hodes has the advantage of milder weather and aims for a daily walk. Twice a week, when her daughter comes by, they take a stroll together on the building grounds.
