Susannah Mushatt Jones, 116, is the oldest woman known to be living.
Her secret to longevity?
“She’ll eat bacon all day long,” said Jones’ niece, Lois Judge.
Jones told Page Six she eats bacon and eggs every morning for breakfast. Later, she eats fruit for lunch and meat, potatoes and vegetables for dinner.
“She eats the meat first,” Judge said.
Jones, a New York resident, is described as “alert” and able to notice small details like whether or not a blanket has been moved despite being blind. She only takes two medications a day.
"She's never really had medical issues," another niece, Sebla Mushatt, told New York Daily News.
Known as “Tee” (short for auntie) the centenarian has over 100 nieces and nephews in multiple states across the country. She was born in 1899—32 years before the Empire State Building was constructed and 16 years before the Brooklyn Bridge was built in the city she lives in now.
