115-Year-Old Woman's Secret to Life: Raw Eggs, No Men.

115-Year-Old Woman's Secret to Life: Raw Eggs, No Men.

Three raw eggs a day keeps death away, according to super-ager Emma Morano. 
People who were single and unhappy about it on Valentine’s Day might be cheered by the story of Emma Morano, who has been single for the last 77 Valentine’s Days and says it has helped her to live to the age of 115. She remained single after her first marriage ended in 1938. 
She has kept up a doctor’s long-ago recommendation to eat three raw eggs a day."For breakfast I eat biscuits with milk or water." Then come the eggs, followed by "pasta and minced meat … for dinner, I’ll have just a glass of milk." 
She has lived through huge amounts of upheaval, but her memories are mostly ones of personal events. On her decision to stay single in the decades after her marriage ended following the death of an infant son, she tells the Times that she “didn’t want to be dominated by anyone.”
