World’s Oldest Woman Reveals the Secret of Her Longevity

Emma Morano of Verbania, Italy was born in 1899 and will celebrate her 117th birthday later this month. And how did she get to be almost two decades over 100? Eggs.

Since Emma was 20-years-old, a doctor told her to eat three eggs a day: two raw and one cooked. She was suffering from anemia and has kept the same diet for over 90 years. That means Emma has eaten more than 100,000 eggs.

Now, on the eve of her 117th year, Emma only eats two eggs a day and some cookies.
