The world's oldest documented woman lived to 117 by eating yogurt three times daily, specifically varieties with Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii. The presenter finds three commercial yogurts containing these bacterial strains and no added sugar.
Could a yogurt help you live to 117? Well, a new study just dropped on the world's oldest woman. She lived to 117 years old and 168 days, and yogurt was a staple in her diet. She ate it 3 times daily for decades. But not just any yogurt. The yogurt she ate was rich in 2 specific bacterial strains: Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrucii subspecies bulgaricus. Don't worry, there's no quiz on that. Anyway, I went on a little scavenger hunt to find these bacteria in common commercial yogurts, in yogurts with no added sugar, full fat, and protein rich, of course. And these are the top 3 picks that I found after comparing a bunch of labels. And there's no brand deals or affiliations here, just real finds I'm sharing with you, my community. And if you want to go deeper into this woman's diet, her metabolism, her genetics, and actionable science behind her extreme longevity, check out my newsletter. It's all about her.
