The present record holder of Guinness' oldest living person is Susannah Mushatt Jones, and she has recently revealed that her every day diet consists of a serving of bacon.
Jones, who turned 116 last July 6, was dubbed as the oldest living person by Guinness in the same month.
In a report from Page Six, Jones' niece Lois Judge, shared to the news reporter that the breakfast of the oldest living person consists of bacon.
Her breakfast consist of scrambled eggs and bacon. She eats fruit at lunch and has a set plate of meat, veggies and potatoes at dinner. Her dieticians may have put a warning on Jones because she might 'eat bacon all day long.' At dinner, she also 'eats the meat first.'
In an earlier interview with the New York Daily News, Jones revealed that her secret to having a long life is that "she sleeps."
Her niece, Myra Simpson, 40, said that she is still alert even for her age. Jones have already lost her eye sight and have trouble hearing, but she is not bed-ridden and only takes two medications a day.
As of this day, Jones is 16 years younger than the Brooklyn Bridge and 32 years older than the Empire State Building. But the 116-year-old New Yorker doesn't believe that herself.
"I'm the oldest person in the world? No, I'm not!" said Jones.
Dr. Thomas Perls, director of the New England Centenarian Study at Boston Medical Center and professor of medicine at Boston University, has said in the report from Live Science that, "By no means should anyone, therefore, think that eating bacon is good for them because [Jones] eats bacon."
Nevertheless, the news about bacon being eaten by the oldest living person in the world still holds a great impact.
As the People Magazine tweeted, "If the world's oldest woman eats bacon every day, we can too - right?"
