Myles Posted May 17, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Amazing. I wonder if she's seen children and grandchildren pass away. If you think that when she turned 58, she was only half way through her life. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted May 17, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2016 the supercentenarian still lives on her own at her home in Italy and is in remarkably good health aside from being almost totally deaf. She's doing well to be living by herself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infernal Gnu Posted May 17, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2016 OMG, we've got to keep her going! Inject her with giant tortoise DNA ASAP, there is a tortoise called Jonathan that is still alive at age 184. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeycat Posted May 18, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Congrats to her. Must be all of the pasta, olive oil and fresh Roma tomatoes. Can't forget the wine! Apparently not. "For breakfast I eat biscuits with milk or water," she said. "Then during the day I eat two eggs — one raw and one cooked — just like the doctor recommended when I was 20 years old. For lunch I'll eat pasta and minced meat then for dinner, I'll have just a glass of milk." "Emma seems to go against everything that could be considered the guidelines for correct nutrition: She has always eaten what she wants, with a diet that is absolutely repetitive," Bava said. "For years, she has eaten the same thing every day, not much vegetables or fruit. But she's gotten this far." Plus a daily glass of home-made brandy.
