She had a number of rules she lived by..😳👇

Emma Morano, born in Italy on November 29, 1899, lived to be 117 years old — the world’s oldest woman before her passing in 2017. The eldest of eight, she outlived all her siblings and became a global symbol of resilience.

Her longevity was linked to both genetics and an unusual diet: she famously ate three eggs a day for decades — mostly raw — and very few fruits or vegetables. Her meals were simple, often just eggs, chicken, and the occasional glass of grappa.

Emma’s life wasn’t easy. She survived two World Wars, endured an abusive marriage, lost her only child, and chose to live independently after separating from her husband in 1938. Her bold declaration, “I didn’t want to be dominated by anyone,” summed up her fiercely independent spirit.

With a mother who lived to 91 and many centenarian siblings, Morano’s story stands as a remarkable example of endurance, personal strength, and the enduring mystery of long life.
