Is Being Single And Eating Eggs The Secret Fountain of Youth?

No one's going to live forever. Sorry to those who hadn't realized that yet but it ain't happening. But hey, that doesn't mean there haven't been a million and one theories on how to beat time's clock from ticking. The latest being from 117-year-old Emma Morano of Verbania, Italy. This woman is well over a century old and the oldest woman in the world, so maybe she knows what's up.

What's her answer? She swears the reason she's been able to keep going since 1899 is actually two things: eating eggs and swinging single.

When the Agence France-Presse asked Morano how she's managed to live through so much history she said, "I eat two eggs a day and that's it," She went on, saying, "But I do not eat much because I have no teeth." 

Once in a great while she'll get crazy and have a cookie but yup, just a couple of eggs a day keeps death at bay. At least it has for her. That's not all though. It's not just her diet, it's her social calendar - or lack thereof - that may be the reason she celebrated her 117th birthday this year.

In 2015 The New York Times were all up in Morano's business because that year she was a young 115 and people were interested. 'How are you doing it?' they asked. Morano thinks it's because she's been single since the Great Depression.

Way back as a young woman, Morano had gotten married. Unfortunately the union was anything but pleasant. Being unhappily hitched, she and her beau (who we assume is long gone) unofficially split in 1938. After that she just never felt the need to remarry, telling the Times, "I didn't want to be dominated by anyone." Hey girl, you do you!

We're not too sure about the eggs and the idea of The Bachelorette: Season 100... but so far it's proven to be a lifeline for Emma Morano. While we're down to add some eggs to our daily routine, staying single? Hey but then again though she never remarried she also never said she swore off hook ups... 

Someone get her on the line, we need to know about her sex life ASAP. It's for science!
