oldest person

Hi there…
Finally the internet connection is smoother now. Thanks to my dearest dear who helped me to call the person who is in charged for this connection in our hostel.

Hey…do you know who the oldest person in the world today?
Well, I read this news in an article, and would like to share this amazing news with all of you.
Edna Parker, who is 115 years old today was born April 20, 1893, and was recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest of that group last August after the death of a Japanese woman four months her senior.
Scientists who study longevity of this special people called them the supercentenarians.
Two years ago, researchers from the New England Centenarian Study at Boston University took a blood sample from Parker for the group's DNA database of supercentenarians.
Her DNA is now preserved with samples of about 100 other people who made the 110-year milestone and whose genes are being analyzed, said Dr. Tom Perls, an aging specialist who directs the project.
Perls said the secret to a long life is now believed to be a mix of genetics and environmental factors such as health habits. He said his research on about 1,500 centenarians hints at another factor that may protect people from illnesses such as heart attacks and stroke — they appear not to dwell on stressful events.
"They seem to manage their stress better than the rest of us," he said.
So u see now… stress is also considered as a silence killer.
Stress is often our own doing. When we sin, we bring the stress of painful consequences upon us. Stress comes when we fail to trust God for help.
As an encouragement here… in john 16:33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world”
