Fauja Singh, the world’s oldest marathon runner, died in an accident in Jalandhar after he was hit by an unidentified vehicle at 114. Singh had attributed his longevity and health to a simple vegetarian diet, regular exercise, a positive mindset, and a strong sense of purpose. His lifestyle choices, including avoidance of tobacco and alcohol, were key to his remarkable health and performance, even in his advanced age.
