Media reports indicate that the secret to the long life of a 114-year-old Brazilian woman is eating a roll of bread for breakfast along with fruit daily.
Maria Gomes Valentim, the world's oldest living human in the 'Guinness World Records' also confessed to indulging in the occasional nip of wine, reports The Daily Mail.

Jane Ribeiro Moraes, 63, granddaughter of Valentim told a local newspaper that her grandma also has a great liking for feijoada, Brazil's national dish, a hearty bean stew with various cuts of salted pork meat and chicken empanada pastries with a lot of hot sauce.

According to Guinness, Ms Valentim, aged 114 years and 313 days, is 48 days older than the previous holder, Besse Cooper from the U.S.
