India, March 1 -- A UK woman celebrating her 106th birthday has revealed her secret to a long and happy life-chocolate and partying. Edith Hill, who only moved into a care home six years ago at the age of 100, believes her daily dose of chocolate keeps her feeling youthful and energetic, according to a report by Mirror.

Born on 3 March 1919, Edith has lived through two world wars, witnessed the reign of five monarchs, and seen 23 prime ministers take office at Downing Street. The retired secretary, originally from Yorkshire, has always maintained an independent lifestyle. While she enjoys indulging in sweets, she has never been a smoker or a heavy drinker.
