Okawa (pictured above, celebrating her 115th birthday in 2013) spoke to the U.K. Telegraph about her secrets for longevity. Those hoping for an obscure secret trick ("Always jump on one foot at exactly 3:43 a.m. while playing the banjo") are in for a disappointment. Okawa attributes her incredible life span to getting plenty of sleep, eating well, and taking a nap as needed.
She told the paper, "Eat and sleep and you will live a long time. You have to learn to relax."
Okawa became the world's oldest living person last year when the previous title holder, Jiroemon Kimura, passed away at the age of 116.
