My father once told me that his grandfather died at the age of 104 and his grandmother at the age of 97. They always lamented that nowdays people like to consumed food/drink that contains a lot of sugar. They say that most people consumed salty, sweet, sour food/drinks only. This practise is unhealthy and unbalance diet.
Their secret on long and healthy life was very simple. Besides taking salty, sweet, and sour food everyday, they also consumed bitter foods in order to have a balance diet. They always practise drinking herbal tea without sugar and they boil it in an earthen pot. Besides that, they eat slightly bitter young shoots of many edible plants as salad (ulam) and bitter gourd.

Catharanthus roseus (Kemunting cina) a small shrubs that grow freely in sandy soil on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia has been used to remedy Malaria, diabetes and blood disorder. They boil the whole plants including the roots and they drink the boiled water twice daily.
