We have often heard people pop pills, guzzle potions and fritter millions on face creams and skin treatments to look and stay young. But this 91-year-old Spanish has tried-and-done something unthinkable to slow down his ticking age.

Meet Mark Ambrose, the nonagenarian who has apparently found his 'fountain of youth'. And no, he didn't go to the mythical land of Bimmi to look for his restorative drink.

Apparently,the secret behind this man's youthful appearance and active lifestyle is a home-brewed tumbler of his own urine. Yes, you heard that right!

He not only guzzles a bowlful of his own pee, but also  dabs it on his wounds for miraculously faster healing.

Mr Ambrose, who lives with his 87-year-old wife Joyce, said: “Both Joyce and I both have serious health problems which have to be coped with. I have a badly damaged spine and she suffers from macular disease, knees that really need replacements and other complaints normally associated with elderly people. Nonetheless, we lead a very active life with friends saying I look a lot less than my age, and my partner possessing remarkable energy and looking no more than 65-70 years of age.”

 And he gives the whole credit for this turnover of age to his urine therapy that he discovered accidentally while searching for a cure for back-pain on the Internet.

He explained: 'I'd already undergone three lumber operations in the UK and in Spain with the specialists admitting they could do nothing more for me apart from trying out different painkilling medicines. With nothing to lose, I thought I'd try the therapy to help to obtain a better quality of life for my remaining years.' So he decided to go for it.

“Taking a small sample in a small glass – easier for a male than a female, I guess – I gingerly tasted the perfectly clear, amber-colored liquid. Not too bad, I thought - a peculiar taste, nothing like anything I’ve had before. Not pleasant, but on the other hand, not too awful.”

'Taking a small sample in a small glass, I gingerly tasted the perfectly clear, amber-colored liquid. Not too bad, I thought - a peculiar taste, nothing like anything I’ve had before. Not pleasant, but on the other hand, not too awful'.

He first started with a sip, then drinking a little almost every time he urinated and then eventually  increasing the amount  until it grew to a tumbler-full.

He just pops a grape or two and quickly rinses his mouth to avoid the stench. Smart, we say!

But then again, can you really go to this extent to delay aging? We wonder.
