Ever been around a married couple who look so unhappy they appear to suck the life out of each other?  Well, Leandra Becerra Lumbreras wouldn't know anything about that since she's celebrating her 127th birthday tomorrow and says one of the secrets to having lived so long is having never been married!

 

That's not the only secret.  She says chocolate and sleeping FOR DAYS AT A TIME have also been beneficial.  But she hasn't spent her whole life in chocolate-induced mini comas.  Ms. Lumbreras reportedly fought in the 1910-1917 Mexican Revolution as a leader of the ‘Adelitas’ – a group of women who went with their husbands to battle.

 

She's the one on the right. Haha, just kidding.

Leandra has 73 great-grandchildren and 55 great-great-grandchildren.  The unfortunate part of such a long life is seeing those you love die before you, as is the case of her five children and all 20 of her grandchildren.
