The World's Oldest Person Is a Badass Woman Who's Been Single for 75 Years

Guinness World Records formally confirmed that Emma Martina Luigia Morano of Vercelli , Italy , is now the world ’s oldest living person at116 age and 169 days - oldas of Monday . And while you probably wo n’t stop up live as long as she has already ( face it , folks ) , you could at least pick up a few lessons from her long and unusually simple life .

Born November 19 , 1899 , Morano is believe to be the last live on somebody on Earth who was bear in the 1800s , according to a GWRpress release . She was raised in Vercelli , but later move to Verbania to live on the shoring of Lake Maggiore in Italy . In fact , Morano has go in the same low apartment there since 1926 – or you know , the last 90 years . And here you are uprooting your entire life every year or two to move to a different neighborhood …

Not only has she hold up far longer than most multitude , she appear to have done it on her own for the vast majority of that time , making her more of a badass than we can ever go for to be ( and we mean than sincerely ) . After marrying in 1926 , she gave nascency to her only tyke , who tragically died only six months later . The atrocious passing strained her wedding , and in 1938 , she leave her married man and never remarried . And if our mathematics is right , that means she ’s been living the single life for 78 years now . And she ’s still kicking .

Although she does n’t seem to attribute her long life to anything in particular , she said she loves her home , her bed , and her collection of watches ( which is perhaps the most fitting interest for someone who has lived throughso muchtime ) . However , Morano claim to have watch over the same simple dieting for almost 90 years , according to Guinness : three egg per twenty-four hours ( two raw , one cooked ) , fresh Italian pasta , and a dish of raw heart . We can get behind the eggs and delicious Italian pasta , but depending on how you finger about naked heart and soul , it may or may not be deserving whatever modest extension of life-time we can associate with her diet .

to boot , Morano is now the only know person alive today whose life history has touched three different one C . The form of address of world ’s oldest living mortal was previously held by Susannah Mushatt Jones of Brooklyn , New York , who was famous forher liveliness - tenacious making love for Baron Verulam . Jones died on May 12th at the age of 116 years , six months , and six days sometime , per the GWR freeing .

Of course , Morano and Jones are n’t the only supercentenarians who ’ve been noted for their badass lifestyles or dietetic quirks . For example , a 110 - year - old New Jersey womanhood named Agnes Fentonattributes her long lifeto fuddle Miller High Life day by day , and a109 - yr - old British womanclaims she enjoys a nice whisky before bed every nighttime .

So , fundamentally , you could keep eating and booze whatever you want and subsist forever . Or something like that .
