The eldest of eight siblings, she outlived them all, captivating the world with her remarkable longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her secret? Genetics and a unique diet. Diagnosed with anemia after World War I, Morano adopted a routine of eating three eggs daily\u2014two raw in the morning and one cooked at lunch. In later years, she reduced it to two eggs and some biscuits. Remarkably, she consumed very little fruit or vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to her longtime doctor, Carlo Bava, her meals typically included eggs, an omelet, and chicken, with occasional grappa\u2014an Italian herbal liquor\u2014mixed with sage, rue, and grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morano\u2019s life was not without hardship. She endured an abusive marriage and the death of her only child. Pressured into marriage after losing a wartime sweetheart, she separated from her husband in 1938 but never divorced. He died in 1978, and she remained single thereafter, proudly declaring, \u201cI didn\u2019t want to be dominated by anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her life spanned over 90 Italian governments and two World Wars. Despite the challenges, Morano retained her independence and resilience, believing those choices contributed to her long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Longevity also ran in her family\u2014her mother lived to 91, and most of her siblings were centenarians. Emma Morano\u2019s story remains a powerful reminder of endurance, personal strength, and the mystery of a long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=63856\">ALSO READ&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emma Martina Luigia Morano, born on November 29, 1899, in Italy, lived an extraordinary 117 years, becoming the world\u2019s oldest woman before passing away in 2017.
