New York’s second oldest person just turned 112. She says staying single and eating Italian food helped her live so long.

Signore doesn’t drink or smoke, has a strict routine, and has been very active throughout life.

She swam often and walked everywhere she could, the New York Post reported in 2018. When she retired, she started playing bocce (an Italian game similar to bowls) every morning, swimming and biking every afternoon, and line dancing in the evenings.

Even once she had to stop playing sports as her health deteriorated, she continued to do mobility exercises, and she still walks back and forth in her hallway to get some exercise when she can’t get outside, her neighbor told the New York Post last week.

Eat a Mediterranean diet

Signore also thinks her diet helped her reach 112.

“I was brought up with very good food,” she told the New York Post in 2019. “Italian food is very good for you.”

“We had salad, fruit, and vegetables every single night,” she told the publication in 2018. “And we always had wine on the table. We only had cake and soda on Sundays.”

She still adds tomato sauce, garlic, or olive oil to her meals, the Post reported in 2018 — key ingredients of the Mediterranean diet, which was voted the healthiest diet for the seventh year in a row this year.
