Masazo Nonaka from Japan was recognized Tuesday as the world’s oldest man at the ripe old age of 112, as his family revealed his secret: sweets and hot springs.
Nonaka, who was born on July 25,1905 — just months before Albert Einstein published his theory of special relativity — received a certificate from Guinness World Records at home on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido.
The supercentenarian lives with his family, which manages a hot springs inn.
„He needs a wheelchair to move but he is in good condition,“ said Yuko Nonaka, his granddaughter.
„He loves eating any kinds of sweets — Japanese or Western style,“ she told AFP.
