Now that scientists have examined a 117-year-old woman's dna, you can stop worrying about dying.  Her exceptional longevity is mostly due to her distinct genes and good lifestyle, according to this research.
 
The world's oldest woman was a Spanish woman named Maria Branyas Morera.
 
She had firsthand knowledge of historical occurrences such as the Spanish Civil war and World war I.  At the age of 117, she passed away in august 2024. According to her daughter, Rosa Moret, her mother never suffered from a serious illness and merely experienced a final decline in her memory, hearing, and eyesight.

Research done on microbiome and DNA

Maria Branyas Morera's dna and microbiota were studied by researchers from the university of Barcelona.  The findings of this study were unexpected.  Her body had a microbiota that was comparable to a child's, according to researchers.  In addition, she was around 17 years younger because her genes were very different.  In other words, her body was around 100 years old, not 117. However, she gained 17 years of age as a result of leading a healthy lifestyle.

The reason for living long was found out

Maria led a healthy lifestyle, had excellent blood sugar control, and good cholesterol levels.  This, according to scientists, is what kept her healthy for so long.  The results of Maria's dna analysis are expected to help scientists develop anti-aging medications.  In addition, this study will identify foods that promote longevity.

What's the secret of longevity?

So allow us to share with you the key to Maria's longevity.  Yogurt was the main food Maria ate. This preserved the beneficial bacteria in her digestive tract and stomach.  She never had a habit of smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol.  She used to eat a lot of healthy, light meals.  She avoided eating foods high in oil and spices.  She was content all the time and found joy in the little things.  She used to avoid mental tension by spending more time with her family.
 
Tomiko Ituka of japan was granted this title following the passing of Maria Branyas Moreira.  But she passed away in december 2024 as well.  The 116-year-old Brazilian nun Canabarro Lucas is now the owner of this record.
