Leandra Becerra Lumbreras was said to have been born on August 31, 1887and according to her grand daughter, she said the secret to a long life is eating well, sleeping for days on end and never getting married.

The former seamstress also has 73 great-grandchildren and 55 great-great-grandchildren.She already buried her five children and several of her 20 grandchildren - the last died in 2013 aged 90. Her 43 year old grand daughter told Mexico's El Horizonte newspaper she is deaf and suffering form cataracts now..

‘She is entirely lucid. She blows your mind with her stories from the revolution.She was always a woman who fought. She was still sewing and weaving until about two years ago. She never ceased to be active, that's why we think she's lived so long.’she sometimes sleeps for three days on end, but when she's awake likes to eat, talk and sing lullabies.She's always had a good tooth, even at her old age. She has no diabetes or hypertension so can eat as many chocolates and sweets as she likes.
