Scientists in Spain discover REAL secret to longevity after studying DNA of 117-year-old woman - Olive Press News Spain

She died in August last year as the oldest person in the world, at 117 years old. She had never been ill, and even in old age, the Spanish María Branyas had almost nothing wrong. A study has now revealed the 'secret' of the supercentury: fantastic genes and a child's intestinal flora. And scientists hope to benefit from this for all of us.

A genetic study shows that Maria Branyas, who died in August being the longest person in the world, at the age of 117, "had a microbiota like that of a girl", and "a privileged genome" that made her biological age lower in 17 years than the chronological one.Maria Branyas died with 117 years in the residence of Olot (Girona) where she lived for two decades, then being the longest person in the world, and was lucky to inherit "a privileged genome…

A genetic study proves that Maria Branyas, the 117-year-old grandmother who died a year ago, "had a microbiota like a girl."

Loma Linda, located in California, is known for being one of the few “Blue Zones” in the world. In these regions, people live significantly longer than the global average, often exceeding 90 years in health and vitality. The city is famous for its long-lived population, comprised largely of Seventh-day Adventists, who... The post The population of this city is one of the oldest, has it found the “elixir of life”? appeared first on The Antagonist.

The study of María Branyas, who lived to the end with a good state of health, shows that old age is not necessarily associated with the disease, since her genome made her cells “feel” and “behave” as younger cells. Manel Esteller, researcher at the Josep Carreras Institute and professor of genetics at the University of Barcelona, in statements to EFE, explains that the privileged genome of Maria Branyas “gives her great protection against cardio…
