A 95-year-old man says his secret to longevity is two biscuits for breakfast and no medications.

Silvio Garattini does admit to having sugar in his coffee.

He is one of the most important Italian scientists, having founded the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in 1963.

The Bergamo native has now told what it takes to have a longer life.

He recently revealed the two key ingredients to living to such an old rage.

An austere, healthy diet and minimal medication use.

Garattini told local media about his eating habits.

He said: “Two biscuits for breakfast this morning. Nothing for lunch, sometimes just a fruit juice.

“After dinner, I get up from the table feeling slightly hungry, as our grandparents used to recommend.

“Red meat or alcohol only occasionally, but I do enjoy a teaspoon of sugar in my coffee.

“There’s no deprivation. Eating sparingly soon becomes a habit.

“In fact, I hardly ever manage to finish my plate at restaurants.”

Garattini’s research centre is dedicated to the study of drugs and disease prevention.

He has authored numerous scientific studies within the field of pharmacology.

Garattini believes a healthy diet is crucial to avoid medications.

He told local media: “A healthy lifestyle prevents diseases and counters the pharmaceutical market.

“Like all markets, it does everything to expand and sell as many products as possible. Today, on average, an elderly person takes 15 medications.

“Prevention, in this sense, is a revolution against the pharmaceutical market.”

The scientist said he takes drugs extremely sparingly, as reported on What’s The Jam.

He told local media: “I don’t take them, unless they are really necessary.”

Despite his advanced age, Garattini remains active.

He serves as the president of his research institute and is currently involved in a project in Africa.

The project involves selecting graduates for a PhD programme at the Mario Negri Institute.

The goal is that they later return to their home countries to contribute to local development.
