Last person alive born in the 19th century has a birthday

Yahoo-

An alert and chatty Italian woman, Emma Morano, on Tuesday celebrates her 117th birthday as the last known person alive who was born in the 19th century.

Born November 29, 1899, she is the world’s oldest living person and the secret to her longevity appears to lie in eschewing usual medical wisdom.

“I eat two eggs a day, and that’s it. And cookies. But I do not eat much because I have no teeth,” she told AFP in an interview last month in her room in Verbania, a town in northern Italy on Lake Maggiore.

On a marble-topped chest of drawers stands proudly the Guinness World Records certificate declaring her to be the oldest person alive.

So the key to longevity is to knock your own teeth out.

  1. Intermittent fasting is good for ya.

    I’ve been doing one meal a day ( Dr Bert Herring’s Fast5 appetite correction plan) since April.
    I’ve dropped 33#, have more energy, and most days feel more mentally alert.
    The only down side is all my pants are now too big, and I’m down to the last hole in my belt, and need one more.

    It’s claimed an inscription found in an Egyptian pyramid states:
    We live on 1/4th of what we eat. Our physicians live on the other 3/4ths.

    It has worked for Emma.
