Living healthy, exercising regularly, and generally taking care of your body are obvious ways to give yourself a better shot at longevity, but are there other things you could be doing to manipulate the odds in your favor?

One centenarian who continues to work as tirelessly as someone half her age has weighed in on the matter, offering a list of four key things she does each day.

Ann Angeletti is 101 years old, so you’ll excuse us for trusting that she’s rather educated on the matter at hand. Despite her advanced age, she works six times a week in New York’s Diamond District, where she’s beloved by her customers.

In an interview with ABC7 NY, Ann revealed that she started working early on in life, leaving school to help run her family’s grocery store in Brooklyn.

When her husband was away fighting in World War II (yes, that’s how long ago we’re talking), Ann took up work as a waitress in New York. She’s been a businesswoman ever since, and continues to run her jewelry business, Curiosity Jewelry in Cresskill, to this day.

The 101-year-old is helped by her daughter and granddaughter, but she’s still heavily involved in the store’s day-to-day running.
