In a small village near Gulu, northern Uganda, lives a man whose story has left many people amazed. His name is Julius Okello, and at 123 years old, he is still active, strong, and healthy. Neighbors, family members, and even local journalists have visited him to witness his vitality firsthand. Walking through the village, one can see him tending his small farm, interacting with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and sharing stories with anyone willing to listen. Many wonder how someone could live this long and remain so lively in a world where reaching 80 already feels like a big achievement. According to Julius, his secret has been a combination of discipline, lifestyle, and spiritual guidance.
Julius was born in 1902, in a time when Uganda was very different. He grew up farming, walking long distances, and eating natural, unprocessed foods. He says that from a young age, he learned the importance of eating fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, and fish from local rivers. Meat was eaten occasionally. He also walked everywhere, helping his parents with farm chores and carrying water long distances. Julius credits his physical activity as one of the main reasons he remains strong today. “Your body needs to move,” he often says. “Sitting all day weakens you.”TO READ MORE,TAP HERE
