(Credit: Mystic Meadows Rehab and Nursing Center) LITTLE EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Lucia DeClerck never thought she would survive COVID-19 and live 105 years on earth, but she credits her spiritual life — and her diet — to her longevity."I don’t have any secret other than pray, pray, pray...
and not to eat any junk food," she told FOX Television Stations Wednesday. She also pointed out her particular love of raisins soaked in gin. "You put them in a [mason] jar and keep them for nine days.
After nine days, eat nine a day," she continued. "It tastes like candy."DeClerck has stuck to this staple for most of her life.
