Helen Denmark of Alabama celebrated her remarkable 108th birthday with enthusiasm and a hint of mischief. When asked about her secret to staying young, she offered a unique response: "drinking wine, eating dessert, and flirting with men sporting mustaches." SSP reported.
Denmark's milestone event was commemorated with a joyous party at Brookdale Assisted Living in Birmingham where her friends and caregivers joined in the celebrations. This lively centenarian expressed that she doesn't feel any older than she did when she turned 107. What's more, she insists on maintaining her youthful vigor through her distinctive approach to life.
In an interview with WDHN-TV, Denmark confidently revealed her rejuvenating formula: indulging in wine, savoring desserts, and engaging in playful banter with mustached gentlemen. Her lighthearted approach to staying young is undeniably charming and has certainly become a talking point among those lucky enough to know her.
