Ukrainian singer originally from the Carpathian region Irina Vykhovanets, better known to audiences under the stage name FIЇNKA, told how her grandmother managed to live to 95 years. According to the artist, the main secret of the longevity of her loved one, like most Hutsuls, is a special connection with nature.

Thanks to this, the performer’s grandmother took various life events quite easily, moreover, she was even able to feel when she would pass away into eternity. The celebrity spoke about this in an interview with Ramina Eshakzai.

" They perceive everything with ease, because they are very closely connected with nature, in which everything is natural and very simple.. We even had a wish: “May the sun warm you.”. It's like the best thing that can happen. Hutsuls live with this philosophy and are cheerful all the time. Accordingly, the grandmother was not very nervous,” the singer noted.

Another significant factor in the long life of FIЇNKA’s loved one was an active lifestyle.

As the performer shared, her grandmother walked a lot, but never controlled her diet and loved fried or fatty foods.

" Every morning I drank fifty grams and was cheerful all day,” the artist recalled.

Interestingly, thanks to her close connection with nature, grandmother FIЇNKA knew exactly the day she would pass away: “She said: “I will die today.”. She washed herself, dressed up in Hutsul clothes, went to bed and died. Very often in the Hutsul region, older people say when this will happen."
