When it comes to
aging it’s a blessing. Many have not lived to see their grandchildren, while
many has seen their fifth generation.112-year-old Yasutaro Koide from Japan is recognized
by Guinness Book of as the oldest person alive, but they just might have to
amend the books.
Not long ago, photos of
Mama Esifiho, a 191-year-old woman living in Nigeria have surfaced. Her age is
estimated by her great-great grandson, Mr. Avuefeyen, who says he knows how old
she is because she told him she witnessed the birth of his grandfather. If the
family are correct, Mama Efisho is not only Nigeria’s oldest woman alive, she
is the oldest woman alive anywhere. Mama Esifiho who resides in Isoko,
countryside community in Delta State of Nigeria that was founded in the 18th
century. Some health-related websites relating the woman’s long lifespan and
continued heath to Isoko’s main crop, the cassava root, as they explain.
“Cassava is loaded
with magnesium and copper. A diet rich in magnesium promotes life-long health,
lowering your blood pressure and reducing your risk of osteoporosis. While a
diet rich in copper helps support healthy nerve function. A cup of cassava
contains 23 percent of the copper you need each day,” says the Institute of
Medicine. (Dr. Oz needs to do a show on this!)
