Theresa Marryshow remembers a time when reaching the age of 100 was perfectly normal in her community. “We have to start to look back and get back into the land,” she says from her island home in Grenada, a country located in the West Indies. “Preparing it in the minimum way possible so that you could maintain all the nutrients.” With her signature head wrap, glasses on her face, and Grenadian accent, Marryshow smiles and teases that she won’t reveal her age because it’s hard to tell it.
