TIL that the oldest person in the world says 'being single and eating cookies' is the reason she's still alive
Dedicated to the ones who still believe that a tofu burger will ensure a long and healthy life. You are wrong and they are right :-)
Debunking the myth
Emma Morano, an Italian lady who was born on the 29th of November 1899, is believed to be the only human being alive who has witnessed three centuries. She turned 117 few days ago.
Surely everybody wants to know her secret, don´t you? I thought she might be eating vegetables all day long, but she doesn´t. According to her own explanations, the reasons for her infinite youth are actually really funny.
According to an 117 years old lady, if you wanna grow old, this is what you have to do:
- Be single
According to Emma being single during the past 50 years saved her life, since she hasn´t been facing that much stress not being in a relationship. She´s surely a funny old lady!
- Eat raw eggs, bloody meat and cookies
Emma said in one of the numerous interviews held during the last days, that she hasn´t ever been a huge fan of healthy food. She actually eats cookies every day. I totally love her just for that statement :-D
The fact that she eats 3 raw eggs per day instead is quite annoying! Cause that means that during her especially long life she has eaten already about 100,000 eggs in total! Wohooo....
This is Emma on her 117th birthday:
Please excuse me, I will have some XXL cookies and delete my dating platform accounts now. Happy weekend! :-D
Cheers & live your dream,

Wonderful...given her diet, I should live to be at least 100! Similarly, I saw an interview with architect Eero Saarinen when he was 94...when asked the secret of his longevity (he was still working every day) he replied "peanut butter-lots of peanut butter, every day."
Haha, awesome! Thanks for that nice comment, @richq11. Maybe we should try cookies with peanut butter :-D Oh dear...
I pretty much live on raw meat & peanut butter...I'll let you know how it turns out (I guess being Italian doesn't hurt either)
Haha, yeah! I live on sweets my whole life so far. Will inform you as well ;-))
the healthiest/oldest people i know attribute their health to walking/exercise! :)
i think that´s overrated.....:-D
