It's the secret of longevity of the world's oldest people

News24xx.com - Science says that your diet, how much you exercise, and your genes, all play a role in determining how long you will live.

However, those who have lived to blow 100 candles, apparently have various strategies or ways to reach their old age, some are doing normal ways, but some are controversial.

Here's the secret of six world's oldest people who can live up to over 100 years.


Emma Morano, lived to 117

Emma Morano, who was the world's oldest person until she passed in April 2017, said ending her abusive marriage in 1938 contributed to her longevity. "I didn't want to be dominated by anyone," she told The New York Times. Morano, who lived in the northern Italian city of Verbania, also had a few unusual diet quirks: she ate two raw eggs per day, plus lots of cookies. In fact, CNN reports that Morano loved cookies so much that she'd hide them under her pillow to prevent others from eating them.



Agnes Fenton, 111

Agnes Fenton of New Jersey credits her 111 years to downing three bottles of Miller High Life and a glass of whiskey every day. She told ABC News in August 2015 that her booze-filled diet began 70 years ago, when a doctor advised her to drink the "Champagne of Beers" daily after finding that her only health problem was a benign tumor. Fenton followed her doctor's orders for years, even adding some Johnnie Walker Blue Label into the mix, until her caretakers nixed the alcohol when she began to eat less.


Gertrude Weaver, lived to 116

Gertrude Weaver, one of the last surviving people born in the 1800s when she passed in April 2015, credited her 116 years to simply being kind. Her advice for a long life: "Treat people right and be nice to other people the way you want them to be nice to you," she told TIME in 2014. Weaver also credited her lack of chronic health problems to not drinking or smoking and getting plenty of sleep.



Alexander Imich, lived to 111

Alexander Imich of New York City was born the same year that the Yankees played their first season and more than a year before the New York Subways opened for business. In May 2014, a month before his death, the 111-year-old told NBC New York that he stayed in tip-top shape with a lifetime of healthy eating and abstinence from alcohol. His diet included chicken and fish, and he spent his younger years swimming and participating in gymnastics.



Adelina Domingues, lived to 114
Adelina Domingues, who passed away at age 114, never fractured a bone, didn't take any medications, and never needed to go to the hospital. The secret to her longevity? Never wearing makeup. "I've never been to a beauty shop and I've never been vain," she told the San Diego Union Tribune. Her Union-Tribune obituary also claimed that she never smoked or drank and considered religion to be her best medicine.


 Misao Okawa, lived to 117
Okawa was the word's oldest person leading up to her death in April 2015. According to the UK's Mirror, she credits her long life to her diet of sushi, getting eight hours of sleep each night and relaxing. Japan is believed to have more than 50,000 people who have lived to be over 100 years old. This is often attributed to the country's low-fat diet, which is rich in sushi and fish. *
