Emma Morano,Watch Jeunes veuves lubriques (1995) an Italian woman who just celebrated her 117th birthday, revealed her secret to living so long that she's the last living person born in the 1800s: eggs and cookies.

And cookies were, indeed, on the menu on Tuesday as Morano celebrated her birthday at her home in Verbania, Italy, attended by her two elderly nieces, a pair of caregivers and her long-time physician.

Believed to be the last person born in the 1800s (1899, to be exact), Morano became the oldest woman in the world in May when Susannah Mushatt Jones passed away at the age of 116.
(Take note, egg lovers: Ms. Jones alsolisted eggs as a regular dietary staple.)

According to The Guardian, Morano's fiance died in World War I and she then was forced to marry an abusive husband she didn't love: "'Either you agree to marry me or I will kill you.' I was 26. We got married.” The couple had a son who died in infancy and Morano left her husband shortly after, in 1938.
She's also been dealing with health issues, including total deafness and increasing difficulty with vision.

As for the eggs, her personal physician, Dr. Carlo Bava, was a bit more skeptical, saying Morano's long life has been due to her genetic makeup, "and nothing else."
Until he can prove otherwise, though, maybe it's a good time to buy some eggs.
