There are records of records, there are those that go beyond the human scale, such as the longest rivers or the highest mountains, and are those linked to the limitations of the human being, such as the weight (the most person fat), size (the tallest or smallest human being in the world) or, as in this case, longevity, because we are going to talk to you about the last woman alive, born in the 19th century, of which you have an official record .
Meet the last woman alive from the 19th century!
On November 29, 1899, one month before the end of the 19th century, in Vercelli, Italy, Emma Morano was born, and the remarkable thing about her case is not so much her date of birth, but that in May 2016 she continues to be alive, and also enjoying good health.
According to the organization of Records Guinness, on May 12, with the death of the American Susana-"Miss Susy"-Mushatt Jones, with 116 years and 186 days, Emma became the lastlongest living woman on the planet of which there is a record (and we put special emphasis on this phrase).
Morano, with 116 years and 173 days (for May 20, 2016) , and it would take only six years to reach Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment, who lived 122 years and 164 days, is considered the longest-lived woman in history by the Guinness Record.
Our Matusalen married in Verbania in 1926, where he lives since then; She had a son, who died before the end of the year and separated from her husband in 1938.Being very young, a doctor recommended to eat three eggs daily (two raw and one cooked) and for 90 years he followed his advice, accompanying them with fresh pasta, a plate of raw meat and a small glass of grappa .The doctor who currently attends it, Dr.Carlos Bava, considers that its wonderful longevity is due to a combination of genetics (it comes from a family of long-lived people and one of their sisters over one hundred years too), good eating habits and a positive attitude towards life.And in this regard, point out:
«From a strictly medical and scientific point of view it can be considered a phenomenon, since it has been in good health for years.”
Before this record Emma was considered the“ grandmother of Europe ”, she has received honors from the Italian Republic and on his last birthday he was congratulated by the president of the republic and by Pope Francis.
And the oldest man? His name is Israel Cristal , he's 112 years old and he's also a Holocaust survivor.
We insist on the official record because it is very likely that there are other people as long or older than Emma, as is the case of the great-grandmother of one of our collaborators (Alexa Medina), who would have turned 117 in April 2016 and lives in Venezuela, but the records were lost and there is no paper that certifies his advanced age.
You can find more information about Emma's curious history and about longevity in general on the website of the American organization "Gerontology Research Group", and if in fact you know someone older than Emma would be great if you shared it with the readers of Science Daily Online.
You cannot miss these habits so that your brain ages less s.
