Kathleen Connell celebrated her 100th birthday last week, but she doesn’t feel a day over 80! She doesn’t credit a healthy diet and exercise to her longevity, nor does she take special medication or vitamins – she simply plays video games!
Kit, as her friends and family call her, credits her Ninendo DS console for helping to keep her mind and spirit young – a gift her daughter gave her years ago. She plays it every night, taking breaks for tea, and is a videogame advocate for people of all ages.
“It’s absolutely super, I can’t speak highly enough of it. I don’t know what I would do without it,” the grandmother of one told the U.K.’s Telegraph. “It’s helped to keep my brain as active as possible at my old age.”
In fact, she has the “mental age” of a 64-year-old, according to one of her favorite memory games, Brain Age. Keep it up Kit!
Check out the video below of the gamer talking all about her beloved DS!
