Elizabeth Sullivan: Dr Pepper

Ms Sullivan, still going strong at 105, has drunk three cans of the stuff every day for 40 years.

Leandra Becerra Lumbreras: Chocolate

Leandra died aged 127, though that could not be officially verified because she had lost her birth certificate.

She claimed chocolate was the key to her longevity, but also said sleeping for days on end and never getting married played a part.

Kathleen Hilton: Fry-ups

Grimsby’s Kathleen Hilton celebrated her 105th birthday with a full English breakfast, something she credits for her long life.

Antonio Docampo Garcia: Four bottles of red wine

Vineyard Antonio Cocampo Garcia, from Ribadavia in north Spain, died in February at the age of 107 years old, having drunk four bottles of red wine every day for decades.

Antonio lasted for that long because he refused to drink water and only ever drank his own home-made red wine.

He always told friends and family that red wine was the secret to his long life, backing up medical reports supporting the suggestion that red wine can be good for our health.

But most of those suggest a glass or two a day, whereas Antonio could drink over a hundred litres in a month.

His son Manuel Docampo Lopez said: “I would watch him drink a litre and a half all at once, and he never drank water.”

He added that his father would knock back a couple of bottles of red at lunch and a further two at dinner and when the pair were at home, they would get through 200 litres of wine a month.
