Woman Who Lived To 117 Had Unique Gut Biome

Monday, March 17, 2025 at 8:00 PM

Maria Branyas credited genetics for her long life of 117 years, but researchers found the woman also had a unique gut biome. Branyas, who remained lucid until the end of her life, had the gut biome "more typical of a child," Manel Esteller said. "We discovered a large quantity of bifidobacteria and a great diversity, which is indicative of a healthy microbiota," Esteller said. For the last 24 years, Branyas ate three yogurts a day, and lowered her biological age by 17 years. (newser)
