Morano is the only person
on Earth who was born in
the 1800s. She credits her
longevity to her very
bizarre diet. The 116-year-old Italian
woman isn't gluten-free,
vegan, or Paleo. She's not
gulping green smoothies or
snacking on superfoods.
Morano told the Associated Press she eats two raw eggs a day.
Yes, really. Since developing anemia
as a child, Morano has
been on the raw egg kick.
It was her doctor who
suggested she should add
the eggs to her diet when she was just a young girl. "He told me to eat two or
three eggs a day, so I eat
two eggs a day," she said. Morano's secret doesn't
mean we should all be
slugging back egg yolks in
the name of health. Even
though instances of egg- related salmonella have reportedly decreased since
1998, eggs for human
consumption are probably
better off cooked, because
hey — why risk it? Plus,
one study found that egg protein is more digestible
when cooked, yet another
compelling reason we
should fully cook our
omelets. Whether or not raw eggs
are all they're cracked up
to be (had to), Morano's old
age isn't out of the ordinary
for Italy, where there are
a number of centenarians. In one village, there are
roughly 300 people over
100 years old, NPR reported.
