If you're searching for the secrets to a long and healthy life, who better to learn from than someone who has lived for more than a century? A 123-year-old Colombian woman, believed to be the world's oldest living person, has defied the limits of human longevity. While genetics and lifestyle could have certainly played a role, she credits two simple foods as the key to her remarkable lifespan.
María Antonia Cuero was born on 18 October 1901 as per an identity card issued in 2012, which would make her the oldest person in the world after French woman Jeanne Louise Calment who lived to 122. However, Cuero has not yet officially received the title from the Guinness World Records. If her claimed age is verified, she is also the oldest person to get vaccinated at the age of 119 in March 2021.
