There would hardly be any person in this world who would not want to live a long life. But not everyone is so lucky that they can live as long as they want. This is in God's hands.
However, scientists have discovered the secret of longevity. Scientists checked the DNA of a 117-year-old dead woman. In this test, they found something very surprising.
According to the report of the Mirror website, Maria Branyas Morera, a resident of Spain, had the status of being the oldest person in the world. She died last year, i.e. in August 2024. About 8 months after her death, scientists have discovered her longevity. Researchers at the University of Barcelona examined Maria's microbiome and DNA. Microbiome means a group of micro-organisms that live on or inside the human body.

These special things found in DNA
Investigation revealed that her body has a child-like microbiome. Apart from this, her body also has a privileged genome. Manel Estler, genetic professor at Barcelona University, says that such unique genes had reduced her age by 17 years. Maria's daughter Rosa Moret says that her mother lived for so long because she never fell ill. Maria knew everything about the First World War and the Spanish Civil War until some time before her death. But a few days before her death, her memory was getting weak and she was also having trouble hearing.
Never drank alcohol
After Maria's death, Tomiko Ituka of Japan became the oldest person in the world, but she also died in December 2024 at the age of 116. Since then, Canberra Lucas of Brazil has been made the oldest person in the world, whose age is currently 116 years. It is believed that these discoveries will help a lot in making anti-aging medicines. Along with this, it will also become easier to know which food increases age. Scientists found that Maria's cholesterol level was quite good, blood sugar was also within limits and the immune system was also good. She never drank alcohol or smoked cigarettes. She used to take yogurt 3 times a day.
