A major factor for his health is, that he follows the traditional punjabi practices regarding life. There is a saying in Punjab "Eat and Dress Well, Leave Rest to the God" Been to punjab myself, and after spending 12 years in a sikh dominated school, I know why they say, "You cannot simply return from Punjab hungry" 6:00 am morning, A traditional Walk in the feilds, Fresh Air (morning air also has higher Oxygen content), 7:30 am Breakfast, starting with a approx 600 ml glass of Lassi (Curd + Milk mainly), and spending 3-6 hours out in open each day, and a sleeping at night at 10 pm sharp, in Open Air. People would swear by organic things in Punjab. Geez I miss those days. Punjab is a really great place to be.

From what I've heard, Fauja Singh eats very little. Source: my mom, who happened to meet him when he was attending a wedding in Punjab. She asked him what he ate. According to her, it's a couple of pinnis for breakfast (a pinni is a wheat-based local sweet) and palak di subzi (spinach leaves, curried) for lunch. Also, I hate to contradict you but Punjab these days is up to the neck in alcoholism and drug-abuse. There was a discussion in here the other day about Russian road rage; it's about the same situation in Punjab in my experience, and I've spent most of my life there.

  About Palak di subzi, yes, its a favourite dish in Punjab, but not as much as the now iconic, Chole Bhature & local favourite, Sarso da Saag(Spinach Dish)+Makke di Roti(Bread). Well, its not like a state of apathy in Punjab. A lot of the original Punjab is the small villages, not much connected to the public view. Alcoholism & Drugs is a problem faced by many countries, compared to that Punjab is no different. A social change is coming in India, you know how they say language is culture. At this moment, Different Local languages are driving the way of adoption of western habits in an Indian way. In Delhi, a mix of English-Hindi-Urdu has become the norm, though many see English as a status standard, educated people know that it is not a big deal, and they are leading the way of the transition of Bharat(India in Hindi) to India, the later being not just English.
