Texas woman Pearl Cantrell, 105, was given a ride in an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile in her hometown after she said eating bacon was a key reason for her long life.

Three slices of bacon a day keep the doctor away.

At least that's been the case for 105-year-old Texas woman Pearl Cantrell, who credits her daily dose of sizzling pork for her longevity.

Hard work and bacon, Cantrell told TODAY.com about her reasons for living a long life. I love bacon. I eat it every day. Its got to be crispy.

Cantrell loves bacon so much that when Oscar Mayer heard of her affinity for it, the company gave her a lifetime supply and took her for a ride in the streets of her hometown of Richland Springs, Texas, in one of its Wienermobiles.

That was so much fun (riding in the Wienermobile)," she said. "And getting all that bacon, I loved that,

This is a small town with 336 people, and everyone was out on the street waving to her, Cantrells daughter, Anno Richards, told TODAY.com. It was a big day for all of us.

At 105, Pearl Cantrell has one healthy habit she swears by: a daily dose of bacon.

Cantrells son Billy Allen, 81, said that along with a morning cup of coffee pudding, or coffee with lots of milk, sugar and a biscuit, the Texas centenarian starts each day with a few pieces of bacon.

Every day she gets up and [today she] said Bill Im ready for my bacon, Allen told ABCNews.com. [She] eats two pieces nearly every morning.

But bacon isnt the centenarians only healthy habit, Allen said his mother was active his whole life. She spent her days in the fields of the family farm in San Saba County, Texas, after Allens father died in the 1940s. After her husbands death she raised her seven children on her own.

Allen said not only was his mother active by picking cotton in the fields during the day, but that she always loved to dance and even waltzed at her 105th birthday for a few dances.

However, it was Cantrells daily routine of eating bacon that grabbed attention of the Oscar Mayer company. The company famous for their meat and cold cut products sent free packages of bacon and hot dogs to Cantrell in honor of the great-grandmothers birthday and even let the great-grandmother ride in the famous Wienermobile through town.

She really enjoyed it. She went all through town and up by the school house, said Allen.

In spite of her longevity, Cantrells habits are not recommended by the medical community for those looking to survive to 105. A study released last year by the Harvard School of Public Health found that people who ate a daily serving of processed meat, equal to two strips of bacon or a hot dog, had a 20 percent increased risk of death.

Tagore's poetic spirituality

Posted on by

India, May 7 -- "Deliverance is not for me in renunciation. I feel the embrace of freedom in thousand bonds of delight." This strikes the keynote of Tagore's poetic spirituality. Despite his deep Vedantic background, Tagore was against any world-negating asceticism. "Whom dost thou worship in the lonely dark corner of a temple with doors all shut?" He found the Omnipresent expressed in and through the creation.

"Deliverance? Where is this deliverance to be found?" Tagore is clear in assertion, "Our master himself has joyfully taken upon him the bonds of creation; He is bound with us all forever." God has invited the poet to this wonderful feast of sight and symphony as He wants to witness the eternal harmony of His creation through the eyes and ears of the poet who has been made endless with ever fresh life. So he undergoes the experiences of complete life and is so daring, so passionate and yet so saintly.

The poet is never indifferent to the sordid suffering and numerous worldly diversions. His desires are many and cry is pitiful but he is thankful to God for saving him with hard refusals and thereby making him worthy of divine love.

He is aware that the barrier between him and his cosmic beloved is created by his unending earthly desires. He knows, "All desires that distract me day and night are false and empty to the core."

But this human cry of flesh is succumbed by sublime cry of soul, "Light, oh where is the light? Kindle it with the burning fire of desire." Finally he affirms, "Yes, all my illusions will burn into illumination of joy and all my desires ripen into fruits of love."

"It was my songs that taught me all the lessons I ever learnt, they showed me the secret path,"- says the poet. He marked his poetic spirituality with the words, "In this playhouse of infinite forms, I have had my play and here have I caught sight of him that is formless."
