Emma Morano recently touched the milestone of being 117 years old on Tuesday, November 29. She is currently the last known survivor of the 19th century who also has a link to the late 1800s as she was born on November 29, 1899.
Emma Morano, who is officially the world’s oldest human has just celebrated her 117th birthday at her home in Verbania, a town situated in northern Italy on Maggiore. While she was months close to celebrating her birthday, Emma revealed her secret diet that she believe is the reason for her perennial lifespan that included of three eggs per day; eating two of them raw.

The 19th-century survivor celebrated her birthday with two women, Malgorzat Ceglinska, and Yamilec Vergara who cared her over the years and was also joined by a couple of journalists.
In earlier interviews, Emma said that she was not sure if she would try her birthday cake as she did not like the cake previously of her 116th birthday. However, she ate a piece of cake all by herself.
While reporters were asking her questions about her life, she revealed that she did not have a good life at all and worked until the age of 65.
Even though her diet has been useful for prolonging her life, Mr. Bava who doctors her from the past two decades holds himself responsible for keeping Emma alive, referring himself as the keeper of the Tower of Pisa. Meanwhile, he also points towards her genetics to be a contributing factor because Emma’s mother and two sisters lived long lives as well.
