  Misao Okawa, the world's oldest woman is celebrating her 116th birthday at Kurenai Nursing Home on March 5, 2014 in Osaka, Japan. Okawa was born in Tenma, Osaka, in 1898 to a family of Kimono merchants, married in 1919 and had three children, of which a daughter and a son are still alive, and has four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. So what's her secret to longevity? Sushi and sleep, 

   

  

  Okawa eats sushi "at least once every month," according to Tomohito Okada, the head of the retirement home where Okawa has lived for the past 18 years

  

  She eats three meals a day and sleeps for at least eight hours.

  As for her, to be alive is worth living, can enjoy all her favourite food and watch her great grand children grow.
