Rerun: Life Advice from a 96-Year-Old Grandpa George Mellor


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered what centenarians do differently?

In 2021, I invited my 96-year-old grandpa, George Mellor, to join me on the show to share how his lifestyle directly impacted his longevity. I am replaying this episode with a heavy heart today, as he passed away recently, shortly before his 100th birthday.

Grandpa George’s Keys to Longevity:

  • Farm-Fresh Food and Home Cooked Meals
  • Relaxing and Rejuvenating
  • Resilience
  • Community
  • Drinking Plenty of Water
  • Faith

  • George Mellor's Bio:

    George Mellor was my grandfather, who lived for almost 100 years. He was a farmer, and his farm was the first in his region to implement irrigation.  

    In this episode:

    • What a farm-life diet looked like in the early 1900s
    • How food production now differs from when Grandpa George grew up
    • Why making time for rest and rejuvenation is essential
    • Grandpa George’s best ways to rest and rejuvenate
    • Why faith truly matters
    • The benefits of community for longevity
    • The benefits of drinking plenty of water, staying resilient, and having strong faith
    • Grandpa George’s favorite breakfast foods

    • Grandpa George left us peacefully, sharp and witty as ever. He was my last living grandparent, and my son William carries his name as a middle name. I am grateful he did not suffer and is now at peace, and I am thankful that my husband, Eric, got to know him well and my sons, Eric and Mikey, managed to spend time with him.

      I truly loved my grandpa George and will cherish his memory forever. He left a profound legacy for his family and community, and I will always be grateful for all he did for his family.
