An alert and chatty Italian woman, Emma Morano, on Tuesday celebrates her 117th birthday as the last known person alive who was born in the 19th century. Born November 29, 1899, she is the world’s oldest living person and the secret to her longevity appears to lie in eschewing usual medical wisdom. “I eat two eggs a day, and that’s it. And cookies. But I do not eat much because I have no teeth,” she said in an interview last month in her room in Verbania, a town in northern Italy on Lake Maggiore.
