The 111-year-old grandfather, who has become the oldest in Australia, is a hot topic because he cited the delicacy of chicken brain as the secret of his sharp memory and longevity.
According to the Associated Press and Sky News on the 17th (local time), a retired ranch manager and veterinarian, Dexter Kruger, became the oldest man in Australian history at 111 years and 124 days.
The oldest male record was Jack Rocket, a World War I veteran who died in 2002 at the age of 111 and 123 days.
In an interview with ABC Australia, Mr. Kruger recommended a chicken brain as a secret to his health.
He said, "You know a chicken has a head and a brain in it, it's very small, but it's delicious. It's only a bite."
The habit of eating chicken brains seems to have something to do with his life working with livestock.
When he was a child, he owned his own farm in his 20s, and then ran a ranch without retiring until he was 95.
Married in her early 30s and gave birth to a son, and she lived in a married life for over 50 years until her wife died in the 1990s.
His son Gregg, 74 this year, regarded his father's longevity as a result of his simple life in remote Australia.
His longevity is also believed to be a genetic cause.
His cousins lived to the age of 100, and his aunt died at the age of 103.
He continued to enjoy sports until the age of 105, and he had a good memory, so he started writing books at the age of 86 and published more than 12 books.
On her 109th birthday, she published a book called'As You Like It' and is currently writing an autobiography.
"His memory is astonishing for a 111-year-old," said Kruger's current Queensland nursing home manager. "He is probably one of the smartest residents here."
