The keys to longevity were recently uncovered in a groundbreaking study on the world's longest lived person.

This was by far the most comprehensive study ever done on a super-centenarian (>110 years old).
One of the first key takeaways was that her telomeres, which are thought of as protective barriers on the ends of your genetic material, were incredibly short.
Typically longer telomeres are considered good, but apparently they didn't matter for her.

She had strikingly excellent mitochondrial function.
This woman's mitochondria were literally outperforming people 100 years younger than her.
These are both metrics of mitochondrial energy production below in her immune cells.
Most notably, she had genetics that made her cytochrome c oxidase function abnormally good.
That enzyme is red light's main target, what it stimulates to give its benefits.

When looking deeper into her genes, we see other areas of her health that were protective.
Her genes for key processes like:
◇ Brain cell differentiation / multiplication
◇ Immune response to bacteria / viruses
Were among some of the most important.

In general, her immune system looked a lot different than younger peoples'.
The proportion of her anti-inflammatory T-regulatory cells were actually much less than.
However, she had much greater killer / helper T cells.
These immune cells are critical to wiping out cancer cells and infections, both key causes of age related death.

Her lipids looked good, except *gasp* she had high LDL cholesterol!
But she never went on a statin or abandoned eating meat or dairy.
This actually makes sense - higher LDL is consistently linked with living longer!

They also looked at her gut bacteria.
The key findings were:
◇ Very low proteobacteria - these are universally considered bad / inflammatory (like E. Coli or Salmonella)
◇ Extraordinarily high bifidobacteria - very rare to see in old age, much less at 116. Typically found mainly in babies. Considered good + common probiotic.
But they found out exactly why she had such bifido...

Here's her diet.
Yogurt. 3x a day. Every single day.
Milk every morning.
These foods promote + feed bifidobacteria.
Eggs, potatoes, olive oil.
Nothing crazy, but eats well.
